Help for passengers fumbling with electric seat adjustment

After years of having people who don't understand electric seat adjustment, and explaining carefully what they should be feeling for and doing only to see the seat contorting in all directions, but the right one, I decided to make an instruction card for my glovebox by clipping the relevant parts out of the owner's manual.

Recently getting the 535d with comfort seats only strengthened my resolve because of the many additional adjustments over normal electric seats.

I have decided to share the file with you all. I print it and fold it in half lengthwise and then in half horizontally so that the summary is on the outside and the detailed adjustments on the inside. It has made life much easier since I did it.

Enjoy.

This is brilliant! I gave up even trying to explain even the simple seat adjustments (you know, the ones like every electric seat) on my lux seats to passengers. I figure if they play enough, they'll get comfortable...or not.

I had the same issue, and when I saw the adjustments on this seat I groaned at having to explain everything. The saving grace is the passenger memory buttons which I have at two general settings... but this sheet I made has been a great saver of frustration to me
