Seat Back keeps adjusting backward

Post by jonp » Mon May 08, 2006 9:44 am

I have noticed that my Sports Seat back keeps reclining back by itself. After a couple of hundred miles, I find that my wrist does not sit at the top of the wheel when I lean back in the seat to check my driving position.

Anyone else have this?

The dealer is aware - I am awaiting their reply

Now you mentioned it, that has happened.

Have you also noticed that after the sport button is pressed to turn sport mode off, the seat does not return to their original setting if you have them on the widest position.

I actually noticed that today - I am pretty slim, but I found on the motorway this morning driving in 'relaxed mode' that they were tight, so had to slacken them off.

I think the sports seats are great, however maybe not enough research has gone into them. It would be interesting to know the logic behind the software that operates them

I think I'm going to switch off the seat narrowing function on the sport button, nice feature, but actually a little bit pointless. We all know we only press the sport button under bridges with the window down to hear that glorious sound.
