- How To Auto Retract Seat On Entry Subaru Outback & Legacy
In this video I show you how to set up the auto retract seat upon entry on your Subaru Outback or Legacy. This feature makes the driver's side seat retract automatically when you open the door. It will then use the facial recognition feature to scan your face and set your memory seat and mirrors.
If you want to set your memory seat position, this video will show you how: • Memory Seats on 2021 S...

I think they got it backward. The seat should retract when you turn the car off. When I go to get into my car, I don't want to be waiting for the seat to move back. Especially in bad weather! Other cars do it on driver exit. Big goof here, IMO.
Totally agree. Especially if you have difficulty getting out of the car.
Turn off engine, seat retract to what you set it for comfortable exit and entry.
That's exactly why I am here.
I am trying to get out of my car comfortably and have the seat go back so when I get back in, it automatically sets to my driving preset.
Why is this backwards?
@@patrickmoore7227it’s backwards because if I manually or have button number 2 set to have seat totally in the back position and adjusted to my
Comfort level (being disabled doesn’t help) for getting out of the car. Thats great. However when I go to get back into car the seat moves forward some. Just enough to make my life miserable.
Should have seat go to an exit setting or not move forward instead of back when getting in car.
I even turned off the auto seat feature however it still goes to some middle position.
Frustrating and painful getting in car.
@@patrickmoore7227also curious as to why it takes a month to reply?
@@patrickmoore7227 Because they're morons.
Suburb dealer not aware of this feature. Thanks Alex
Thank you Alex I just purchased a 2024 touring xt and love it your videos are awesome it’s so nice to have somebody to explain all the little things 🙏
Many thanks Alex !!! my saviour !
I'm the main driver, yet my seat kept moving forward and downwards each time I opened the door, it was very frustrating.
With your video, I fixed the issue, now the seat doesn't move at all when I get in....ahhhhh finally...
I probably ended-up in this situation because the documentation is not clear about the fact that there are more than just two seat memory...
the documentation says that there are two seat memory from the door buttons, but fails to clearly mention that there are seat position associated to the user recognition and probably even one set per key (remote)... all this to say that I struggled a lot in the first weeks to get the seat and mirrors to be adjusted for me and my wife (which drove it once in the first year)
Most of that year the seat was ok, but I recently found that I preferred a higher and further back default position...hence the above problem...
Many thanks.
I have the Outback 2023 and previously,
the "smaller" Outback 2008 standard (which I kept 15 years and was still in very good shape)
Long live Subaru !
Fantastic videos. We just purchased a 2025 Legacy Touring XT and you are helping SO MUCH! THANK YOU!!!!!
Thanks! Alex, this is very helpful. I purchased a 2024 Ascent. Your video is the only place I found that explains this feature. Neither the owner's manual nor the "getting started manual" reference how to set this function up. Love your channel.
Thank you Jim!
Thanks Alex, my dealer didn't know how to set this up (on my 2023). I appreciate your help!
Thanks that was a big help. It is a nice feature but I wish it would retract when you exit. It would make it a lot easier to get out. This is my first Subaru, but it will not be my last. Great vehicles.
You're welcome! Happy to help. Enjoy your Subaru and let me know if you have any other questions
That would be a nice feature! Maybe they could do it with a software update...
@@james-p I agree!
My dealer had me retract the seat and store that position using the memory position button located on the door. When I park I press position 2 and I slide back.
@@brendandeas7093 Good idea - Since no one else drives my car that'll work just fine.
Thank you Alex for your dedication and excellent work.
I’d like to suggest something: 1) turn off this mode altogether 2) upon exit move seat backwards as you like, it will stay in this position also for entering the vehicle, 3) when needed enter the vehicle with seat already backwarded , then push memory button.
Isn’t it easier ?
My 2024 outback touring xt has a mind of its own.
I had to set preset 2 to move seat back so I could get out of car as I’m partially disabled. Even though in settings I have the option to auto move the seat back when opening the door. It still moves into a different position which is more difficult to get in car. Then when I actually get in and it recognizes me it moves the seat to my preferred driving position.
Someone else mentioned that this seemed backwards as seat should move back to your profile position for getting out of the car and stay there and only move when you get in.
This kind of work for my 22 Forester, the screen is different but the steps are basically the same. You go to the menu in the top screen and activate the auto retreat option then turn off the car, once the car is off press the set button for a second and at the same time (keep pressing set) you push once the open/subaru button on the remote key and the function is ready. It only works for entry not for leaving and the car must be locked for this function to work.
Alex the auto retract video of that you posted it's very informative and it works for me. My question is how do I get the c3 tract when I want to get out of the car,
can it be done?
The most over engineered feature set up...and it's a FANTASTIC idea to not explain ANYWHERE in the manual the over complicated steps for this over engineered set up!
It worked for my 2020 Forester. Just a different way to get to the Driver Monitoring System, then turning the Seat Retract on Entry ON. On the Forester you get there by pushing the INFO button on the steering wheel. Tap it until the "press and hold the INFO button screen comes up" Then press and hold and scroll to Driver Monitoring System. Easy Peezy. Also, you can set the seat to retract on exit by setting up the seat buttons on the door. Retract you seat to where you want it for exit then press and hold the Set button on the door and then press 1, or 2 button till you hear a beep. Now all you have to do is press the 1 or 2 button that you set and the seat will retract.
Wow. Getting one in Australia in August. So looking forward to it
another great and easy to learn video! thank you very much!
thank you for all the videos. I am trying to disable the "Auto Retract Seat On Entry", but after toggling off the option in the settings, the function is still active. How can I turn off/disable it? Thank you.
Thanks Alex, we keep forgetting how to set this.
Hi Alex, I’m in Australia and I have tried many times to set it but it doesn’t work. Any ideas why?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me. Larry
Do you have to set the auto retract for each user? Or does the one auto retract setting work for all users?
Can you tell me how to remove a driver from set settings on my 2021 outback
If you turn this setting off, it still auto retracts on entry, so what does the auto retract button actually do?
Any way I can have the seat move back when I exit also?
I just got the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek sport and I was wondering if I could program the seat for 2 drivers.
Were you holding the Set button while pressing the unlock button? Or did you release the Ser button after the beep? I couldn’t tell.
I have a 2023 ascent limited. I hope this method works for it.
Thanks!
How do you shut this feature off from retracting?
So the 22 wilderness doesn’t have facial recognition. No one on TH-cam has made a video how to set the memory for seats per profile. Everyone of the videos I’ve found has been about facial recognition
Does the seat auto retract when you get out or just when you get in?
Could you please tell me again the sequence of clicks on the door button and fob key after you set on the retract function on the screen? It was a little confusing watching you clicking several times while mentioning “one click”. Thank you!
Click and hold the set button on the door and then click on the Subaru logo (unlock button) on the key fob. Hope this helps!
@@alexpmo yes it did! Thank you very much!
@@pabloruani7411 you’re welcome 😊
have to push set and key fob loco tab same time?
Hello, Alex. I suggest another variant: 1) turn off this seat retracting feature. 2) Before exiting, retract seat backward with knob manually. 3) when you return to car and won’t to enter, the seat position still be retracted backward. 4) when you are inside the car ready to drive press your memory button, and the seat will return to your chosen position for driving.
Subaru does have this backward. The seat should retract upon exit. My husband needs the seat to retract in order to get out of the vehicle. There isn’t enough head room.
Is the Subaru able to retract the seat,when the vehicle is shut down,for easier exit.
I didn’t remember setting the seat retract position but it does it when I got the car. Now my 22 Outback is not doing it anymore.
Clicking the buttons on the seat are confusing. Looks like you did it twice on the door and on the key fob..couldn't getine to work and which one to press first?
I purchased a new 2023 Subaru Ascent Touring. I’ve tried turning the Auto Retract Seat feature OFF, but it still retracts. I have repeatedly toggled ON and OFF, exited and locked the car, unlocked and reentered, but it won't stop. Is there a way to stop this feature?
Have the same issue. Have you found a way how to disable it?
can you get seat to retract when you exit your Subaru outback?
We just bought a 2020 Outback. Will what you're showing be applicable for that year as well? It's a Limited trim with everything on it.
Yes, this was first available in the 2020 model Limited and Touring only
Does anyone find the 2023 legacy head rest a little wobbly?
I just have my wife on seat memory 1 and mine on 2, so just click on 2 when she had been using it.
Hi Alex, will this work the same on the 2022 Outback Limited?
Yep, it's the same set up
Thanks but it’s not clear whether you hold the set button down while you push the button on the remote or whether you push the side button and let it up and then push the button on the remote. Also not clear whether you have to hold the side button down a second or two. This is the same problem with the manual which runs 600 pages but doesn’t explain things like this in detail or if it does explain them it’s completely both redundant and incomprehensible.
Hey Tom! Thank you for letting me know. I'll try to make an updated video on this that explains the auto retract feature in greater detail.
The problem is it doesn't do it every time.
Why does any car need this many features bells and whistles?
I love the "I don't need it, so why would anybody use it" mentality. Makes me chuckle. - This specific feature has been a huge upgrade for me since my last vehicle. I am almost 1.5 foot taller than my wife, so when she was the last person in the vehicle, I would be kissing my knees when I got into the car.
"Need" is not the same as "want." I tell my wife this whenever I "want" something. ;-) However, I do have a major beef with push-button start. Because I don't need my key to physically start the car, I'm always leaving it on the seat, and I only find out when I get out of the car and try to lock it from the door button or handle. I'd love to know if people were really asking for this, or if it was simply a pointy-headed engineer's idea. Now... my wife's 2017 Mercedes GLC-300 has BOTH push-button and keyed. You just pull the button off, which reveals the keyhole. Brilliant!
How do you shut this feature off?
