Volvo V70 2005 electric driver's seat - ChrisplusPam
On a previous Volvo when you opened the door with the key fob the seats automatically adjusted to the settings for that key and are supposed to do that for 2005 V70's.

On my current Volvo the seat settings are registered, but 98% of the time the seat does not adjust automatically to the key fob which opened the door (my wife and I have different seat settings and individual key fobs) and to adjust the seat for the relevant driver you have to push the manual button in the seat to get the correct setting. A Volvo franchised dealer said it found no problem.

Any suggestions for anything I can do or anything I should specifically ask a Volvo dealer to look at would be gratefully received.

Just a thought: Don't forget the fob learns the position to use each time it is used to lock the car.

So, if the seat is in your postion (say memory 1) and her fob is used to lock the car, the next time she unlocks the seats will either stay in memory position 1 if they happen to be so, or will move to memory position 1 if not.

what did the dealer check ? Did they vadis it ?

I think you get codes like PSL112/PSR112 if the motor moving the seat forwards and back has a problem, they have a current limit so if the motor has to strain it should show up. But it should be easy to demo the situation to the dealer - why didnt they see it?
