    2017 Discovery Td6 HSE Lux Santorini Black

    Tell me I’m not going nuts

    When I first got the D5 I used the third row of seats a couple of times, I haven’t needed them for a long time. Question is I seem to remember that if you pushed the button for the second row to go forward to let you climb into the back, I was sure the drivers seat used to move forward slightly.
    Today I tried it and it never moved and the head rest on the second row hit the screen on the back of the drivers seat. Am I nuts- does the drivers seat move?

    Did the headrest drop?

    Cant say that I remember the drivers seat moving. I know the second row move when dropping or raising the third row.

    They do move forward as said but my drivers seat rarely returns to it’s prevous position. The passenger seat does every time.

    I think movement is based on how far back the seat is. They move forward when folding row 2 and when accessing row three when you press the row two seat button too.

    I wonder if it has lost memory of where the front seat is, so doesn't know if it needs to tip it forward.

    Perhaps moving the front seat to one extreme or the other and then return in to it's memorized location will remind the car what position the front seat is in, and there for it will then know to tip the seat in order to lower the second row?

    No idea if this will work, just a stab in the dark at some sort of logic.

    So I just spent 45 min at the car trying to get it to move. I’m curious why it would have changed. I tried everything I could think of but still did not move. Tried moving the seats all the way back forward hight the lot no difference. Checked the memory works and it’s just fine. Tried it with the engine running stoped. Gave up now in house drinking a coffee.

    Mine used to work. I think a dealer reset or something needs doing.

    So I had a look around my settings, and found this in the seating settings.

    Ah. Will look at mine. Maybe it needs a dab from on to off and back on to get my drivers seat to behave.

    Edit: Poo. I don’t have a seat setting on my HSE.

    So did you guys option the intelligent seat fold or have HSE Lux’s where I think it’s standard ?

    What model year ?

    It’s very handy to add in your forum signatures (at the foot of every post) what your spec level is and also the model year Thumbs Up
