How to Set Volvo Seat Memory?

Volvo seat memory setting method: 1. The seat memory function is located in the driver's position. Using the memory function, two different settings can be stored. The memory function buttons are located on one or both front doors; 2. After storing the position to the selected memory button, an audible signal will sound and the indicator light inside the M button will turn off. If no memory button is pressed within three seconds, the M button will turn off and no storage will be performed. The seat must be readjusted before setting a new memory position; 3. After ignition is started, ensure the car is in an operational state, then adjust the seat to your comfortable or desired preset position. Press the SET button on the door panel and hold for about 3 seconds. The SET light will illuminate. Select storage position 1 or 2, and upon hearing a "beep" sound, the seat position will be memorized.

Setting up the Volvo seat memory is very convenient. After I bought an S90, I spent some time setting it up, and it made sharing the car with my family much easier. Here are the steps: First, sit in the driver's seat and adjust the seat position (forward/backward), backrest angle, height, and lumbar support until it's completely comfortable. Then, adjust the steering wheel and rearview mirror angles. Next, locate the M button and numbered buttons (1 to 3) on the inner side of the door; I held down the M button and pressed a number key (e.g., 1 for my position) for a few seconds until the central console emitted a beep or the light flashed, indicating the setting was saved. Once set, pressing the number key restores the seat position every time the car starts. I reserved position 2 for my wife and position 3 for my son to avoid conflicts. Volvo’s system integrates safety features—in case of an accident, it automatically resets the seat to minimize injury, while also enhancing daily convenience. Remember to ensure the engine is on when setting a new position to prevent data loss in a power-off state. Beginners should practice in an empty parking space first to avoid mistakes once familiar.

The setup process is quite intuitive. First, I adjusted the seat to the ideal position, including the cushion angle, armrest position, steering wheel height, and mirror tilt. Then, I located the memory controls on the driver's door: press the M button, then select and hold button 1, 2, or 3 for 2-3 seconds until a 'click' sound confirms the setting is saved. Volvo's memory system supports multiple profiles—I set 1 for city driving (slightly forward for better control), 2 for long trips (slightly reclined for relaxation), and 3 for sharing with friends. Switching profiles is as simple as pressing the corresponding button to restore the saved settings. The central display sometimes shows the storage status to assist with management. The system has good compatibility and even links with the key fob to automatically adjust positions. Remember to test periodically to avoid memory failure, and operate while the engine is running for smoother adjustments, saving daily setup time.

The setup is simple: First, I adjust to a comfortable sitting position, then locate the M button and number keys on the inner side of the door. I press M followed by a number (e.g., 1), hold it for a few seconds to confirm, and it memorizes the position. Later, before driving, just press that button to restore the seat position. It's perfect for those of us who don't like to fuss around, saving the hassle of readjusting every time. Volvo designed it quite thoughtfully, making the operation straightforward.
