As for the seat memorized position, that works as documented… it is assumed (I’m afraid that doesn’t probably work for you) that positions are saved for different drivers, so, if you press the button BEFORE you sit, the seat moves to your preset position automatically. On the other hand, if you wanna switch from inside the car, once the door is closed, you can still do, but having to press the button (probably as a safety feature in case one driver is way taller than the other and you mistakenly press the small one’s position being the tall one; if not it’d “squeeze you” hehe). Btw, the seat position is also saved in the key/profile, so if you share the car (both my wife and I share ours) use your own provided key and forget about all these things, as the car detects the key and applies the whole profile, with the seat position being part of it. What I haven’t read about is the double click feature to tilt the rear view mirror manually (the 360 camera works fair enough and so I haven’t needed it), thanks for the tip!
Thank you very much of your comment. Of course, I understand the intention behind the setting where the seat moves all the way back with just one press of the button before entering the car. In older Volvo models, the car could distinguish between different keys and recognize which key was used to unlock the car. It would then automatically adjust the seat to the last position associated with that specific key, so the seat would start moving as soon as the door was opened. However, in the newer Volvo models, you have to select the profile manually for the seat to move, which would have been much more convenient if it were automatic. And I wonder if there's really any need to worry about accidentally adjusting the seat while driving. After all, if that happens, you can simply press any of the seat adjustment buttons to stop it.
