Multitask Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 So I was wondering if there are setting to tell the memory seats just how far (or where) to move to when I turn off the engine... right now it's ok , but I would like it to go a tad lower to I can get in and out easier. Where it goes now means haveing to tilt my head a bit to get in and out... and the seat can go lower... I'd like it to go about 2 inches more down. ?

No, unfortunately there is no setting to change the exit parameters. I will check my MKZ, but I believe the exit feature only runs the seat back on the track, and does not change the height, seat back rake etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramf411 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Is it an option to use/program one of your memory seat buttons for this purpose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, you can program memory button #1 for your seat position, and program button #2 to run the seat all the way back and down to exit. But then you will need to hit button #2 every time you get out of the car, and then hit button #1 every time you get back into the car to reset your driving position. Of course, a driver can avoid having to hit button #1 when getting back in by programming one fob to be recognized when you enter. Just one persons opinion here: That all seems like a lot more trouble than simply lowering the driving position for button #1 slightly, or ducking one's head to get out. Of course, I do not know if perhaps there are physical/medical reasons for having difficulty, so take my advice as being aimed at physically healthy individuals. Good luck.

Multitask Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) I have done something like that... #1 is for me normally #2 is for when I'm eating food in my car (more these days it seems, and a lot when I was on vacation) # 2 would be too low, but it would be nice if the car could remember a setting for when I turn it off... ? It also makes be wonder why there is a SET button, when all you need to do is press the # for 5 seconds to have it remember the setting. ?

Exactly! When I got the vehicle, one of the few things I did was to program the memory seat immediately - that is by holding the button number until it beeps. I knew, once in a while I did have to reposition it and did not really think I did the programming wrong in the first place. Then, I saw the "SET" button.?

Chris109 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) I wish I had a 3rd memory button like I had on the '13. On my '17, I use #1 for normal driving, And #2 when I have my driving companion.

Multitask Posted May 27, 2020 Author Share Posted May 27, 2020 I change it from time to time.... but it's usually in the same place... #2 is set very low and back... with the steering up... this way I can eat in my car when needed... When I had my FFH's I hated not having memory when the dealer should change it when I got the OIL change. I'd have to re-set it up... now I don't have to. ? I even have the buttons and modul for under the seat for the mod I was going to do... but never got to it, I think I still needed the wiring... now I don't ahve to deal with it... ?

drolds1 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Can't believe your cat is that mellow. On a short ride to the vet in a carrier, mine carry on for the whole time as if they were being burned with lit cigarettes.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKZMark Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 The MKZ has a pretty difficult ingress/egress for older folks or people with bad backs. I wish it would raise the seat all the way up when exiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shtaka Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Kinda the same line of thought, is there a way to make the steering wheel move to it’s highest position when doing the comfort exit and access thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kramf411 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) Wow $3.89/gal? I just paid $2.559/gal and PA is actually the most expensive among the nearby states (NJ, DE, MD).
