    For some reason my driver's seat appears to have lost it's "memory" of my driving position. The seat was moved when in for a dealer service. When I got it back I put it back to my normal position. However, now when someone gets in the back seat, it doesn't slide back to the normal position like it used to. It will just slide all the way back. Is there something special I need to do to reset the memory? The manual doesn't really provide any guidance.

    In normal operations, you use the top pull handle to access the rear seats. To reset the seat, you have to slide the seat before tiling the backrest. If you tilt before sliding, then the slide is disabled.

    Sliding the seat to reset the memory position (without tilting) is the problem. No matter where the seat is positioned initially, once someone uses the top pull handle to tilt the seat and slide it forward, it then will slide all the way to the back of the rail. Before it would return to the initial seat position.
