Entry & Drive Issues

[JeffreyRothstein]

I have an issue driving me crazy on my new 2012 Cayenne S that I hope someone can help me with. The car is equipped with Entry & Drive and Comfort Memory. I always use key#1 and I have no problem storing all my settings to either button 1 or 2. I have selected the option for Easy Entry. When I leave the car, the steering wheel moves upwards and the seat moves back. When I re-enter the car, the wheel moves back and seat moves but not to the exact position it was in when I left the car. The only way to go back to the original position is to push and hold the memory button#1. According to Storing Vehicle Settings in the manual, the settings should be automatically stored on the key when the doors are locked so that when I reenter the car, the wheel and seat move back to the stored position. Also, the off button is not illuminated on the door. Is there something that needs to be done in the car or on or to the key to store the seats position to the key? It doesn't make sense that I would need to push the memory button each time to return to the correct driving position. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Since the car is under full warranty (2012) i would visit the dealer for a check with PIWIS 2, could be a program error or a control box fail. Certainly not self-experimenting with during the warranty period.

I hear you on this. Your dealer should be able to tell you how to get around this. I have a 2012 cayenne ctt. I decided that I would just set it up so that it did not move the seat or steering wheel when I turned it off. If you are the primary driver, then not a problem . Also I wonder how long the seat and steering wheel motors will last if always moving back and forth. I know that the warrenty is for 4 years and the miles; but I suspect that most of us are going to be keeping these things for some time. just a thought. Sometimes the car manufacturers seem to make things overly complex. It has been somewhat a challenge to get through all the manuals; but it has been a good challenge to keep the brain sharp. On the negative side, you can surely waste a bunch of time trying to figure it out.
