Hey guys. I bought a 2000 max GLE with dual power seats. Me and my girl carpool 30 miles to work in the max together everyday. At first we would fight over who was driving. "I wanna drive!" "NO WAY!" you know. Then we came up with a solution. She drives to work, i drive from work. Anyways, my question is this:

My girl is like 5'2 and im well, not. lol... so every trip we take the seats, mirrors and all have to be adjusted. Are these seats going to last me with this kind of wear? Ive never had power seats before, I dont want to ruin them!

thanks

 

power seat motors should outlast any use you have in the car...I've seen 20 year old american cars with power seats that still work

 

Doesn't the GLE come with pre-assigned seat settings for the power seat?

 

If it does, please tell me where! That would be awesome!

 

I know my 2k2 SE does.. the controls are on the driver's door.. should be a 1, 2, and SET button.

 

My wife and I do the same thing.. sort of..

I drive both ways and she gets up at night with our youngest. Sometimes she drives though.. the 2k2 and 2k3 cars have memory seats, at least on the se they do...

Its nice, but nothing like the memory settings on a lincoln ls..

That changes the outside mirror, steering wheel, and seat.

 

not there.. you guys get everything. cool tails, HID's, this.. no fair

 

instead of switching daily, why not cut down on the swapping?

do what my sister and i used to do when we were little, on even days i got to sit in the front seat and at the head of the dinner table and on odd days she got to sit up fron with my mon and at the head of the dinner table.

odd days-you drive, even days-she drives. if you're worried about the seats wearing out then do that. it will cut the amount of wear in half.

 

Seat memory not available prior to 02. That's one option I would pay for if available (wife=5'3", me=6'4"). Not willing to give up my AE, tho.

 

 

I don't think my 03 has memory seats...Was it an option?

 

im pretty sure it was standard. even if it wasnt standard on all maximas i would assume the SE had it (leaving the GXE without it)

the buttons should be right near your driver's door handle. to the left of about 9 o'clock on your steering wheel.

 

Wife=5' me=6'4. I have an 02 now though. I hear the 04 has memory for everything, includine the telescoping steering. To bad everything about the body sux.

 

How do you set the memory seats? I have an 02 and alas my used car did not come with owners manual...

I wish to purchase one if anyone has one for sale

I think the autos have it, not the 6 speeds. Mine doesn't have it

 

With the key in the ignition and set to ACC or running, pull the e-brake up then press the set button and then #1 or #2. Done

 

Put the seat in the position that you want it to be in, then push and hold the set button until the 1 and 2 buttons light up green (I think they actually blink). Then push and hold the 1 or 2 button, and that's your setting. Repeat for another driver using the other numbered button...

 

yes, it's fine. I do it all the time, we got 3 drivers on the max, and we all have different heights.

 

yep...nothign to worry about.

the driver's seat has been moving everyday at least a few times for 40,000 miles. no problems

 

I don't need my key in the ignition...and it won't let you change memory settings while in gear (like switching from 1 to 2...)

 

thats odd. i have a 6 speed and i have it. maybe it has something to do with you being in canada?

how loaded is your car?

 

There is only 2 trim levels here for the '02 SE. "Base" and "leather/sunroof" package (which includes the Bose). Base includes ACC, the Meridian package and HLSD (on the later '02s). Yeah, I'm pretty sure the memory seats only come with the autos here.

 

Well,mine 03 SE 6sp,TE,sunroof doesn't come with it.I guess it was prolly the leather packet that came with it.Can someone with this memory seat option confirm that their car have leather or cloth seat pls,thanx!

 

'03 SE with leather comes with memory seat, with cloth it is not available.

 

02 Leather and everything cept Nav and I have the memory seats

 

well depending on how much she weighs lol

 

I have a 2k3 Titanium edition Max and do not have the memory seats either. Is it because i have cloth seats? I drove a Cadillac Deville this week whilst on business in Toronto and it had the memory seats. It was nice!

Is there anyway to add this option if you do not currently have it?

 

mah woman: 105-110 lbs

me: 155 lbs

 

yup gotta get the memory seats......thats one thing my wife and I miss alot from the legend....funny how the legend which is 14 years old and has it and our top of line GLE doesn't...

 

...you can also do what I do:

Me = man = drives all the time.

Woman = never drives.

This rule of mine has been in effect since I got my license. My sisters and mom just hand the keys over to me. The girlfriends give me the keys to their car. I don't like not being in control of driving and will never let a woman drive when I'm in the car.

Not to start a war (with the 3 women on the board) but I just feel that women panic too much and are not capable of driving.

 

*cough*AMEN!*cough* trust me, you are not alone.




will never happen.. my woman luvs my max (and she helps pay for it)

 

It was in the Leather Package.

 

I'll never understand the combos that Jap car companies make. I'm happy my 2k3 has the memory feature but if you want cloth you don't have a choice to get it? Stupid. Oh, don't get me started on the BOSE system

I remember wanting to get ABS on one of my previous cars - in order to do so I had to get the sunroof and floor mats. I guess the ABS doesn't work without them

American cars will allow you to pretty much pick and choose the options - but there are other issues with them.

 

You can find and download pdf versions of your owner's manual at http://www.nissan-techinfo.com/nissa...?dept%5Fid=37. I think you can also order a replacement dead tree (paper) version from them. If not, the address to order is in the pdf file.

I did poke through there and it doesn't look like memory seats were offered as an option for that year. There's no mention in the owner's manual.

 

That's what I thought.

 

and its sad how 96 civics have sunroofs but my 2k2 max does not. its weird how thing are optioned. its all in how to make $ on the car. the lincolns have the best memory seat feature. but i find i do not need it because my seat is the farthest it can be in any direction except the back part.

 

hmmmm wouldn't that be the same thing he's saying ?Switching everyday would be the same as odd days even days.

 

The Q45 has all that and includes the rear view mirror. Dope eh?
