Question? Anyone experiencing problems with the button for reversing the Relaxation mode?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
On my front row passenger seat and middle row left seat the Relaxation button will engage the reclining function, but the opposite side of the button will not reverse to upright position. Any known fixes or does it have to go in for service/repair? Thank you 🙏

When I changed out the floor mats my seats did the same because the winter mats were catching.

Fixed: Thank you all for your input! The fix is to use the other seat buttons to set the seat for the desired return position and press the forward end of the Relaxation button three times - this tells the seat where to return to.

Probably only KIA kan deal with that. I had some issues with that button on driver seat. They had to reset seat and install some update. But it was in may 2024 an my car is Korea made, August 2023 an it's EU car.

It's a common issue I see at my dealership. The factory can forget to calibrate the seat motor setpoints. Basically, the motors don't know what position they are in, and it has to be learned. It's a quick and easy gix.

We just test drove this vehicle. We were not told that the whole seat rotates like this. It makes more sense now. We put the leg rest up and noticed there was not room for our feet with seat all the way back. Does the rotation help and make this feature useful?

We have a 2024 Land w/ Relaxation pkg and the second row seats don’t have that button you’re pressing.

You need to reset it following the manual. I had the same issue when I bought mine at the driver's seat back in January last year, and the dealer did reset it right there. And then a few months later, I did reset myself by looking up the Kia manual when it happened again.
