What is Memory Seats?

Mirror and steering column positions are often stored together with the seat. Some cars link the memory to each key or driver profile. They are useful when several people share one car.

How it works

Electric motors move the seat while position sensors report its location to a control unit, which saves and restores the values.

Why it matters for your car

After battery disconnection or repairs, positions may need to be stored again. Keep the area under the seat clear, because objects can block the motors.
