How to Use the Seat Memory Function in Mazda Atenza?
3 Answers
To use the seat memory function in Mazda Atenza, follow these steps: 1. Power on the vehicle and adjust the seat to your preferred comfortable position; 2. Press the 'M' button to activate the seat memory function, then press any of the number keys (1, 2, or 3) to memorize the seat position; 3. A beep sound and relevant display on the instrument panel indicate successful memorization; 4. To recall the setting, long-press the assigned number key, and the seat will automatically adjust to the memorized position. Taking the 2020 Mazda Atenza as an example, it is a mid-size sedan with body dimensions of 4870mm in length, 1840mm in width, and 1445mm in height, a wheelbase of 2830mm, a fuel tank capacity of 56.2 liters, and a curb weight of 1518kg.
I've been driving the Atenza for three years, and the seat memory function has been very handy. Since my wife and I take turns driving, we've saved two positions. Saving a position is particularly simple: first adjust to the most comfortable posture, press the SET button on the door panel, and within five seconds after the light comes on, press number 1 or 2. You'll hear a beep, and it's saved. Recalling a position is even easier—just press the saved number key, and the seat will automatically return to the position. The key is to operate it when the gear is in P; don't fiddle with it while driving. There's also a neat trick: after linking the key to the memory position, when you unlock the car with your own key, the seat will automatically adjust to the corresponding position. During the last maintenance, the technician mentioned this function can also sync with the rearview mirror, but I haven't tried it yet. If you want to update a saved position, just repeat the setting process to overwrite it.
When using the seat memory function in the Mazda6 Atenza, pay attention to several details, especially for new drivers unfamiliar with the car. First, adjust the seat position, height, and backrest angle while the vehicle is parked, and don't forget to adjust the mirrors. Press the SET button until the indicator light comes on, then quickly select 1 or 2 to store the settings—waiting over five seconds will require starting over. To recall a memory position, briefly press the memory button without holding it down. I recently discovered that the keys can be linked to positions: the primary key stores the driver's seat position, while the spare key stores the passenger seat position, saving family members the hassle of manual adjustments. This feature supports a maximum of two memory positions, so if your household has more drivers, you'll need to overwrite them in rotation. Important reminder: Never attempt to set the memory while driving, as the steering wheel may block the buttons and it's unsafe.
