I can't figure this out for the life of me.

How do you disable the feature that moves the driver seat all the way back when you turn off the engine? I like the concept, but it's not great if you've got an adult passenger in the back seat.

I've looked around, and YouTube thinks it should be in the Infotainment Screen under Settings > Vehicle Customize > Boarding & Exit, but when I go there, the screen is blank with no options.

I've also looked in Carista and it's not exposed as a customization there, either.

What's the trick?

Page 643 in the owners manual talks about it being in the infotainment screen and owner adjustable.

Huh, I just went back and tried again and the option to change it is showing up now. Problem solved!

I'm with you.... I've never had a problem driving in the last 24 years of driving that I was like oooo thank goodness the seat slides back. If anything I feel bad for my boys in the back.

Ew, having the seat move automatically move back sounds like a bad idea to me.
When I'm out exploring, I have camera equipment on the floor behind me.
