CuivreParc Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I can not get the Memory seats to function when I unlock the doors by pulling on the driver door handle? If I use the unlock on the Key Fob the seats will move. The dealer can't figure it out either. On Pg 126 of the Manual 2nd Printing Passive Recall Note: If more than one passive key is in range, the memory function will move to the settings of the first key stored. When you unlock the vehicle with the remote control or pull the driver door handle with a passive key in range, the seat and mirrors will move to the position stored on that remote control or passive key.

When you lock the vehicle with the IA key, it stores the seat settings at that time and that's what it restores them to the next time you unlock the vehicle with that key. So if you get out, then go back the seats will not move. If you get out and someone else drives the vehicle and changes the seat position and then you get back in the seat should move back to where you left them the last time you exited the vehicle. It won't change to a preset position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how the Escape does it, but on my Edge, the seat always moves back when you turn off the ignition, then does not return to the preset position until hitting the Start button again.

CuivreParc Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 The seat does not move back when we turn off the engine. After I lock the Escape with my IA key, I walk away and have the wife unlock it with her IA key (pull the door handle), with her last setting almost all the way forward, it will not move until you press the Memory pushbutton on the door. Now with the seat all the way forward, she locks the car and walks away. I walk back up to the car and pull the handle to unlock the Escape and the seat does not move back to my last position????

akirby Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 That's what the owner's manual says should happen. If not then either the OM is wrong or something is wrong with the vehicle. Maybe there is an option that has to be activated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escapism Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) Well, I drive to work every day in flip-flops(did some time in the jungle, so I like to keep my feet as dry as possible). When I get to the garage and after I turn off the car, I adjust the seat straight back so I can put on my office shoes. BTW I always lock/unlock with the handle. Anyway, when I open the car at the end of the day and get in, my seat starts moving back to its setting even before I turn on the car. As the seats are moving I can usually take my office shoes off and put back on my flip-flops before it comes to a stop. I know this is TMI but I thought I would share my daily seat adventures. I will confirm this today. Edited October 2, 2012 by Escapism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Does the vehicle have Easy Entry? That might be moving the seat as well. Is there a setting in the menus to enable/disable IA memory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuivreParc Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) I don't see any setting for memory seats under the driver information display, or MyFord Touch. The only time that my seats move is when I press one of the memory buttons on the driver door Edited October 2, 2012 by CuivreParc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escapism Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Yep, when I get back in the car, as soon as I open the door my seat starts to move forward by itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuivreParc Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 I think my problem is that when you turn off the engine, the seat and mirror settings are saved to the IA key. So my key, and my wifes key both had her settings saved on them. So when I would unlock the door the seat would not move from her settings. It's her car, and I have not driven it without her, until last light. When we picked up the Escape from the dealer, we had started and stopped the engine many times during the inspection/demo. So now if I drive the Escape with just my IA key in it, with seat and mirrors adjusted to me, turn off the engine, lock the car. Then with me away from the car, she car unlock the car by pulling on the door handle, and the seat will move to her position. I'm still confused if both of us are in the car with both IA keys which ones it saves the setting to when you turn off the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the OM when 2 fobs are in range it uses the first one listed in the computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuivreParc Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 Is there a way to tell which one is listed first, besides trial and error? I will try tonight when both keys are home. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escapism Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Whoever is the primary user should press and hold the #1 memory button setting for seat/mirror adjustments located on the door. Do this when in park with the car running. Make sure they have the IA key they use on them at this time. Now, the next person does the same thing, except hit and hold #2 button . Make sure person #2 is the only key in the car(not the same IA key as person #1). That should do it. If you both get in the car with both keys and #2 is driving, just hit the memory button #2.
