Pressing sets memory switch #1 takes 2 presses to work?
Background: I have the key that I always use and I have seat memory 1 set for my normal seating position. I set memory 2 as my “easy entry/exit” feature as I’m short so getting in and out is easier with the seat set to backwards so once I shut off the car and before I open the door I press 2 and the seat goes to where I set it.
Once I get back into the car I press memory 1 to have the seat go into my driving position and this is where the issue arises. When I press 1 the seat moves a small amount down and backwards but not to where I have set it. I need to press 1 again and then it will move into the correct position. I have already tried to move the seat around and then re-do the memory feature for both 1 and 2 and the issue still occurs. I have also tried the “seat calibration” that is described in the owners manual where you move the seat all the way forward and then release and press it forward again. |

Are you hitting the start button while the seat is moving?

I do the same: set 1 for drive, set 2 for exiting. In mine (auto), if I'm in drive/reverse I have to keep holding the button until the seat reaches my set position. In park, I press once and the seat moves all the way to the set position.

I’m in park and memory 2 (my easy entry/exit) works fine (one press only) but if I press memory 1 it first tilts the seat back a little bit and drops the seat down a little and stops. I then need to press it (#1) again and it’ll go to the actual preset position.

I'm stumped. I'll troubleshoot a bit when next I'm out and about.

I do very similar, preset 1 for driving, preset 2 for exit/entry.
Preset 1 won’t stick when the car is running, I have to hold it. I’ll double check for 2. I assume this is a safety feature.

To add to specifics, the issue I am having occurs whether I am using the physical key with the car or my phone/digital key. |

This is not likely very helpful. However, no matter what I tried, normal operation for memory set is one-touch for both buttons 1 and 2. Conditions: car is 1) running or in accessory (on) mode and 2) not in gear. I can't get it to produce the kinds of behavior described by EMZWEI.
One-touch works even when I shut off the during the seat adjustment. I set up a profile w/my second key but one-touch operation was the same. Not sure what else to try. I'll report back if bahvior changes. |
