I am very confused on how my seats work in my truck. They seem to have a feature where they move back and give more room for egress when the truck is turned off. When the truck is started, the seats move forward into a predetermined possition. That is all great. However, I stopped the truck this weekend and went to roll down the window after the truck was off, so I needed to turn the key back on to adjust the window. When I turned the key on, I was pushed way forward, and the seat height was changed. Nothing near what I would ever have set it for. The key set is the same keys I have been using to drive the truck since I have owned it. Is this normal, or is something wrong with the seat operation?

Any insight is appreciated.

 

wonder if you pushed one of the seat buttons on the door.

I think on mine there is a 1 and a 2. So wonder if you accidently pushed one of those.

 

I think that is what happens because I did the same thing.

Please the seat like you want - height, tilt, distance etc, the press and hold the 1 seat button at the front of the arm rest for a second or two. That should reset it for you.

 

Shows how familiar I am with the truck, I know the car has seat setting for my wife and for me, I don't rememeber them on the truck. I will have to check it out.

 

You have the same thing on your truck - buttons one and two.

 

On my F150, I had buttons 1 and 2 on the button panel on the side of the seat. I was always accidentally resetting my damn seat position. I was happy to get rid of that "feature" when I bought my F350.

 

Well, since my wife has driven my truck less than 10 times in 15 years of owning diesel trucks, she really dosn't need a setting. Probably why I have never researched the 1/2 button. Where is it? I use the mirror fold function all the time, as well as the towing mirror extend. Just have never noticed a seat setting selection, probably sets the radio and other personal choices per the driver?

 

I think that you maybe able to disable the feature in the message center.

Don't know for sure but worth checking the owners manual

 

It sets the seat, side mirrors and I think pedals, no radio settings

The 1&2 seat buttons are right in front of the side mirror controls on my truck.

 

My wife's explorer the keyless remotes are sync'd to the memory position too.

My key puts the seat in my spot, her key seat is in her spot. Very cool.

I am leary of the "move the seat all the way to get in or out", seems like the seat motor is going to wear out sooner.
