Neutral seat position

[Gunnar2015]

I'm only 5'2" tall and when I turn off the car the seat moves to a neutral position so when I get in the car again I can barely hit the brake pedal to start the car. Is there a setting somewhere I can change to be a little more tailored so I can reach the pedal? I'm the primary driver so my husband will just have to deal with it, he's only driven it twice.

I think there is a setting in the menu somewhere... are you using profiles for the different fobs? I don't have it in my car (Recaros), so can't point ya to the exact spot...

Yes. You can turn off the feature that puts the seat back when you shut off the car. I believe its called easy entry/exit. Its in the infotainment settings.

The "My Key " settings will IIRC push the seat all the way back to get out, and when you use that key again it will because it is paired to seat memory 1 or 2 on the door will put the seat back where it was

Take a look at Easy Entry & Exit. I love this feature, but am taller than you.

This is it - set the easy entry/exit to the off position and the seat will remain in the place that you leave it when you switch off the ignition.

I'm damn sure you've swallowed the entire owners manual. (Burp)

And to think I didnt even print it out and put in a binder.

If you press the start button without pressing the brake the seat will advance to your set position, then when in position press the brake and the start button again to start the car.

Another option is to start the car with the fob. The seat will remain in the retracted position until you get in and press the start button and it will advance the seat to the preset position.

You don't have the 3 Pre-set buttons on the driver's door?

Wife rule number 3, right? :-D
I have the Recaro seats, so my somewhat less vertically endowed wife has to manually adjust the seat, then mirrors, whining and complaining the whole time, then after a brief tire warm up she's doing her best Dale Earnhardt impression.

+1 @GTSteve; ignition first, once you're close enough to the pedals, start the car.

I'm 6'1" and the only option I have is "AAaAAaaAAaaAAh!!!" trying to squeeze in past the wheel into a Recaro.

Jeez, aren't we spoiled. I remember cars without exterior mirrors, and fixed seatbacks.
