What Are Memory Seats?

Ford vehicles often come with something called memory seats, a comfort feature that enables you to get the perfect position for your seating and then never have to worry about it again once you find the soft spot.

Ford makes it possible to program your seats, and then the seat will remember the location during your next trip…
