I'm wandering if there is anyway to avoid having to hold the setting button for the entire time the seat, mirrors, etc. take to come to their pre-determined settings.

My next question is: does the seat and settings need to always retract to the exit positions? Is there someway to avoid having the positions always change when exiting?

 

You can shut off the exit positioning under configuration. As for holding the button, in the manual if the car is "ON/RUN/START" AND in Park, you should be able to touch and release the button and it will go to the desired position. If the car is OFF or in "ON/RUN/START" and NOT in Park, then you need to push and hold the button until the seat reaches the desired position.
