2005 XC90 Memory Seat/Remote Programming

[Sirfile]

This appears to be the correct programming sequence for Volvo memory seat/remote programming:

The remote control transmitter also controls the position of the power driver's seat and door mirrors in the following way:

1. Adjust the seat to your preferences.

2. When you leave your vehicle, lock it using the remote control.

The position of the driver's seat and door mirrors is now stored in the remote control's memory.

Automatic seat/mirror adjustment

To move the seat and door mirrors to the position in which you left them:

1. Unlock the driver's door with the same remote control (the one used to lock the doors).

2. Open the driver's door within 2 minutes.

The driver's seat and door mirrors will automatically move to the position in which you left them.

NOTE
• The key memory is independent of the seat memory.
• The seat will move to this position even if someone else has moved it to a different seating position and locked the vehicle with a different remote control.
• This feature will work in the same way with all of the remote control transmitters that you use with your vehicle.

The function can be activated/deactivated under MY CAR under Settings Car Car settings Car key memory Car key memory Position of Position of door mirrors and driver's seat in key. See page 133 for a description of the menu system.

The key [pun intended] to this information is that the KEY MEMORY IS INDEPENDENT OF THE SEAT MEMORY.
Must have been lost in the English translation of the owner's manual. Ya' sure, you betcha, Sven!
