This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

While driving our BMW X3 I have tried to change from memory position 3 to 2, however I've pressed 1, which was programed to my wife's dimension, pressing me against the steering wheel and cramping my legs under neat the dash.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

I can not move the seat by pressing a memory button if the car is moving, does anyone else have this problem? I can still use the regular buttons to move the seat. ie, the seat back and bottom. Edited by - craignyc on 03/28/2006 08:55:31 AM Edited by - craignyc on 03/28/2006 08:55:49 AM

It might be a security feature, since the second or third settingsmay be for a second driver who might be smaller or larger than you, thus placing you in a position, which will compromise safety.

POST 3Original post

This is actually a safety feature, the memory settings are disabled when the car is in motion.

POST 4Original post

thanks for the response, it is a crappy safety feature.

POST 5Original post

Its actually a good safety feature. If you're 6' and your wife is 5'3', you'd hate to press the wrong button and find your knees getting jammed into the dash and your mirror settings changing while moving. I think its pretty standard on all cars with memory seats.
