i5 M60 Hidden Seat Adjustments

[reasonistian]

Just figured out some secret seat tweaks on my i5 M60! Turns out you can adjust thigh support, move the seat forward and back, and mess with the bolsters. To find these hidden settings, hit the Seat icon on the "interaction bar" on the door, then use the i-drive wheel to tweak things.

Anyone else know about these hidden settings? I don’t get why they buried these options in the menu. I like tweaking my seat while driving, and digging through a menu is just risky with all the looking and poking around. Why not just slap on a knob like the others, right? Way easier that way!

Seriously, I’ve got a ton of seat settings, but once I find the one I like, I just don’t bother with the rest. So yeah, the button? Totally useless for me.

That's super cool you discovered those tweaks! Big thanks for dropping it in the community, man!

Totally! It’s super weird that they’re buried in the menu, definitely makes fiddling while driving a pain. And seriously, a dedicated knob would’ve been way better - safer and way easier to use!

Do they seriously think most drivers just set it and forget it? Like, come on! For those of us who love to tweak things, it’s such a hassle!

Maybe they think your entire attention should be on driving while you're driving? Same reason while German cars resisted having cupholders for the longest time.

In both my Nissan LEAF and my wife's Hyundai Sonata, certain things cannot be adjusted while driving e.g. saving and recalling seat/mirror settings. I can adjust seat position and mirrors while driving (but I can't save the new settings unless the car is in P), so I can see the annoyance with the i5's scheme.
