Following on from my new car post, a couple of quick questions on the seat tricks I've found before I contact the dealer tomorrow...
I'm wondering if a "battery reset" might be worth trying? Is there a button to do this somewhere, or is it just a case of disconnecting one of the battery terminals for 20mins? What else would need recalibrating if I did this? Am scouring the manual but haven't found info on this.
(The simplest answer is just to take the car back in to be sorted of course! I'm suspecting a switch/sensor may have failed).
Tried this and the seat fails to return to its original position...loz said:Reset Seat Memory
- Adjust the seat to the disired position.
- Turn on ignition but do not start the engine.
- Tilt the seat forward.
- With the seat still tilted forward, adjust the seat base as far forward as it will go.
- Tilt the seat back.
- The seat will then return to the desired position.
- This reteaches the maximum movement of the seat too the memory.
- This generally occurs when on eof two things has happened. 1) the seat has been left in the tilt forward position for too long, or 2) the seat was in the tilt forward position when the ignition position was changed, either turned on or off.
Tried this too and nothing. Seat doesn't do it's calibration cycle...I *think* I'm doing everything within 5 seconds.loz said:Seat tilt memory Reset
- Open the driver's side door and QUICKLY (must all be completed within 5 seconds) click the fore/aft adjuster forward-backward-forward-backward (just click - you don't need to move the seat much at all), then release the seat back and tilt it all the way forward. The seat will then go through a calibration cycle sliding all the way forward and back twice.
This wasn't specifically GT seats....and I can't find any way of finding the seat connectors on mine I can feel a couple of cables from the rear but no connectors. The front has a plastic shroud on it that doesn't pull away easily so I left it.dickygrace said:Unplug and replug the connectors under the seat. There are two, the ones that makes the beeps means it's reset. That should do it.
Not sure whether this was tongue in cheek as this one isn't in the manual I gave it a go but the switch didn't stop working (thankfully).dickygrace said:Maserati say to 'wiggle' the base button 14-16 times until it ceases to operate. Then your seat is reset and the easy entry system should function.
