Re: What's this about?
Of course the seats move with the ignition on and the door closed - so you can adjust your position on long trips.
They also work with the ignition off and the door open so you can adjust them before getting in. It's real handy if your short wife was driving the car and neglected - as usual - to move the seat back. It's also handy for moving the seat way up or way back for cleaning and detailing.
