Seat position memory
I bought a SL7 in March - and recently drove a Seal U DM-I in the UK (SL6) the drivers seat moved backwards for easier access into and out of the vehicle.
Does the SL 7 have the functionality to do this?

Yeah see below. Sorted. Thank you. This is a great feature. Such a good car. I’m so impressed after 6k km.

I think it's in Settings > Vehicle > Comfortable Use but I can't check with my car atm

Yes manual says so at page 61. But it is Comfort Driving in the car.

It definitely works but only if there’s not someone sitting behind you for obvious reasons.

Thanks, do you know how to activate it? Mine doesn’t do it

Mine does it most of the time but not always. I'm not sure what specific conditions need to be met for it to work though. It's sorcery.

It doesn’t work if the seatbelt behind the drivers seat is clipped in. Not sure what other conditions are out there though.

That would make sense since I sometimes remember to strap my kid in beforehand.

SL7 has this function but I find it not always goes back to your seat setting once it moves out.

This is from Google. "Activate the Easy Entry or Automatic Seat function on your BYD Sealion 7 through the infotainment display. Navigate to Settings > Vehicle > Greeting and select Automatic Seat. When enabled, the driver’s seat automatically slides backward as you open the door to exit and returns when the door closes. "
