I found that if you hold the memory button down for any length of time, it goes into the manual mode. Try hitting and releasing the button really quick. That seems to work for me. I know there is supposed to be a mode that sets the seat when you turn on the engine, but I haven't tried that yet.

Heat emanating from under dash on driver's side
Has anyone had this problem and if so, how was it corrected? With the AC cooling , after a time , you can feel heat around your face coming from below. My low volume dealer has not heard of this before. Seems as if I remember reading about this on another thread, but I can't find it.

Manual transmission drivers
Has anyone observed that under "braking only" in 3rd or 4th, that the engine RPM stays high and then drops, almost like an automatic transmission downshifting?
(This is before pushing in the clutch or taking shifter out of gear)
I thought at first that I might be pressing the brake and the throttle at the same time, but have since found that my foot is only on the brake.

I have tried the memory button with the Parking Brake on and with it off. The button will work some times and other times I have to hold the button until everything gets into position. The Parking Brake doesn't seems to make a difference. I have the M7 trans.
I checked the Owners Manual, page 3-4:
So if the car is off and P-brake not set, you have to hold the button down. If it is running or P-brake is set like mine is, you just press and release the button. That's what is working intermittently on my car. The easy exit function works every time. I am going to try the auto memory recall function and see if that works.

Gm has a fix for seat movement. Pi 1245 Dated 5/20/2014 STD shift cars must have update for seat to move when ignition bottom is turn on. Software update puts the option in for you to set this up. I had this done at Reeder Chevy dealer first one done in the country. Doc 3829637

Yes I have a m7 speed and with the new update you setup easy excess on the pm which now has on or off or when ignition bottom is turn in. You get in with the seat all the way back parking brake must be see on last time you left the car. You do not have to start the car just hit bottom seat goes forward now you can reach clutch to start car,. 5/14/2014 they were working on software update and my driller called me in for the update.
PI 1245 is the number and document # is 3829637. When update was done I on on phone with dealership saying this fix the problem. GM told me I was the first car to receive this update and that it would be in the dealers hand by the 5/20/2014

6 speed paddle shaft. I notice more on a down hill going home. I may be in 3 or 4 let off of the gas and it acts like it-- well no it does speed up. I never thought to look at the rpm . will do that next out. Its not a big increase but you would think the gears would slow you down as soon as you take your foot off the paddle.

Currently I Start the car and then reach over and push the seat button (non-vertically challenged driver)
So now I press the Start button...wait and then press the start button again. The only difference is I don't have to reach over to my left.

Really? That doesn't sound like much of an improvement.

Reconfigurable Instrument Cluster
Just took delivery of 2LT, Z51,M7 today. Page 5-8 talks about the reconfigurable instrument cluster. I am unable to get anything to change. It is in track mode only. I can not find the menu to link it to drive mode or change it to sport or tour. Vin 24976 built 5/8. I do get a message referring to www.johnsoncontrols.com/cluster-software. Any help will be appreciated.

Shut off car and open door which cuts the power to the radio. Close door and restart car. Hopefully this will fix it. The software in the car at times can still cause these type of gremlins. My vol buttons on steering wheel quit once. Did above and so far hasn't returned. Others have had screwy problems and shutting down and restarting have cured most of them.

Hands free phone issue
Infotainment screen does not return to the station playing at the end of phone call without pressing the radio button. The sound returns but the display does not. Is this a malfunction or normal for this system?
