Key fob question for 2024 Calligraphy

[Jsmith132]

We just purchased a 2024 Palisade Calligraphy and noticed that when I walk up to unlock the door and my wife drove it last, the seat doesn‘t move to my position unless I start the car and then click on my profile on the touchscreen. I have my settings programmed into the #2 button on the door. I have tried pushing that #2 button before getting in the car and the seat doesn’t move. Am I doing something wrong? I assumed I could walk up to the car and when I opened the car door (with the fob in my pocket) that my seat and mirrors would automatically move to my settings.

Let's look past your very inconsiderate wife for not setting the seat up properly for the master of the house! Why not have the steering wheel and seat move back and away when your wife exits the vehicle? It will make it easier for you to reenter the vehicle and 'take back the controls'. I copied and pasted this from the manual. I sincerely hope this saves your rocky marriage.

Seat Easy Access
Seat easy access will move the driver’s seat and steering wheel automatically as follows:
• Exitingthevehicle:
The driver’s seat, steering wheel and seat bolster will move as follows when the ignition switch is in the LOCK/OFF position with the gear in P (Park) and the driver’s door open.
- Driverseat:Movesrearward depending on the distance selected from the Settings menu in the infotainment system.
- Steeringwheel:Movesupward
However, the driver’s seat may not move rearward if there is not enough space between the driver’s seat and the rear seats.
Also, on a regular basis, the steering wheel will also move forward to adjust its location by itself.

Unfortunately, the fobs are generic and not set to a specific user profile. As statec above car remembers previous driver. Your spouse needs to hit 1 or 2 for your settings when leaving or you need to remember to hit 1 or 2 on saved sttings before you get in. A pain I know!

It’s so frustrating and disappointing when a car has so much technology and doesn’t do this.

You assumed Right! Once you set your desired setting, when opening the door the seat should go all the way back, if you chose that option. go to settings, vehicle and then seat, there you’ll find options for your Driver Seat!
