Phantom Seats


Recommended Posts

I have a 2012 L&K Estate and I have noticed that the seats appear to be moving of there own accord. Some of it can be explained by resting on the edge of the seat when your getting in our out as my wife found out :) But I have also had times when I open my door to see my seat moving ????

 

Has onyone else seen this with there elec seats ?

I think it can be set to a key setting so when you unlock the car it moves to your preferred position. Two keys mean both drivers can have their own. My Elegance is supposed to do this but I have not managed to work it out yet.

We have two keys and as said above each key can be set to suit the driver, not just seats but all the preferences available ( I think). There have also been cases of seats reclining of their own accord, our car had a brief spell doing it last Autumn. There was supposed to be a dealer fix which my dealer had no idea about.

Our passenger seat reclines of its own accord when the car is unattended. Dealer rewired it but it made no difference - still does it five years on. Dealer still has no clue as to cause.

The front seat in my car reclines when my wife gets out. Her (can I say 'ample') thighs press the recline button when she swivels to get out, and the moving seat scares the children in the seat behind her.

 

You know you are getting old when you can't get out of the car without making sound effects.

Drivers seat controls are known to be faulty at times. Scanned mine because the seat moved on its own and when pressing one of the buttons it would move to a position not set and the scan by vcds showed a fault which I have left there for when it is serviced soon.

The key fobs can be set for different drivers and will change the driver's seat and wing mirrors to that driver's position when the driver's door is opened. You are probably using both keys randomly hence the seat keeps moving. We use this with my car in that one fob is set for me and the other for my wife. We know who's key is who's so can just unlock the car with our key and get in without having to change anything other than a slight change to the rear view mirror.

This is what happened to me. When I used the "second key" the seat/mirrors went to the position to which it had last been set when that key was used.

 

To keep things sane, I now have reserved seat memory position 1 and 2 for me (1 for city and 2 for motorway, laid back cruising) and my wife has position 3. Then we don't have to worry whose keys we grabbed (if one of us left their keys upstairs, we ain't going to climb stairs when the others keys are on the hall table).

To get back to the OP, the passenger seat does not have a memory function but reclines of its own accord after (not while) you get out and lock the car. So you come back to find a partially or fully reclined seat. It's nothing to do with different key fobs as they only control the driver's seat memory.
