In response to nismo's post. I prefer the momory seat controls illuminated because I do not use those memory positions for different drivers/people. All three settings are for me. Here is an example of what I mean.
You are right about only really needing it when first entering car but in my case I have three settings for myself.
Memory setting 1: Daily Driving mode, an upright relaxed setting for when going to and from work.
Memory setting 2: Cruising mode, slightly leaned back position with some bolstering and leg support, for when taking long trips on the highway.
Memory setting 3: Sport mode, aggressive seating position with maximum side bolstering and leg support steering wheel position, for when I am carving the mountains or racing on the track.
So as you can see, In my case I want to be able to see those buttons.
Also note, I dont share my car with anyone even my own wife. Lol But she does have her own car.

Yeah, I'll do an about face on my first post. Lighted buttons would be a nice addition. I just tried it out tonight, and looked around at all the lighted buttons in the vehicle. In theory, fewer lights in the cabin while driving at night is a good thing, but in reality it's such a small thing, it doesn't really distract, but does make the buttons a lot easier to see.

1. Turn the engine switch to IGNITION ON mode and recall the position which you want to link.
2. While pressing the button to recall the position, press the driver’s door lock switch (either lock or unlock) until the signal beeps. The driving position is recalled when the driver’s door is unlocked
using the entry function or wireless remote control and the driver’s door is opened.

Actually what is the advantage for doing this setup? I mean when we turn off the car the steering wheel & seat will move back to our preset position for easy exit & entry. When we start the car or buckle the seat belt, the steering wheel & seat will move forward to the preset position for driving.
So if we do the above setup to recall the driving position, won't it be difficult to get into the car?

But note that the steering column on my IS automatically moves up and away when the car is turned off--the seating preset tied to the key fob doesn't move the steering column back into its preset condition until the ignition is turned on--not when the door is opened.
Same deal if you valet your car.

When you have other people driving your car, the seat will automatically go to your position when you unlock the car with your fob. My wife sits about 2" from the steering wheel, so when I get in my car after she drives, I literally cannot get into the car unless the seat is moved back--I hit the unlock button, and my seat, mirrors and steering column all move to my preset position--and same for her, when she carries the 2nd fob. Yes--you have the preset buttons, but it's nice to have this function, instead of reaching down for the preset button as an added step.

My friend is a very short man at 5'5" and even he does NOT hug the steering wheel like women and old people.
No offence to women and old people.

I pray every day that my wife doesn't get in a front-end crash--the air bag will take her head clean off.

Then what's the use of having the seat move backwards, steering retract when you turn off the car? So that you have more space to get out of the car. Then having this feature even before you get into the car the seat & steering move to the driving position which make space tighter & more difficult to get into the car... No brainer...
