1st one: On or Off

2nd one: hex for MM of seat travel to move back (it will move forward the same amount)

3rd one: hex for MM of room the seat cant move back so it wont crush the feat of a back seat passenger's foot.

Lets explain the 3rd one. The reason this is not available for our cars is because our cars are small and the seats can move almost all the way back to the rear seats. There is no sensor to stop the seat from moving if someone is sitting back there or you have something on the floor behind the drivers seat. So it would be the seat motor vs the ankle of foot bones of the person sitting behind you. Or if you had a half gallon of milk back there.... squish and splash.

Lets say you set the set the 3rd number to 30mm or about an inch and a half, and your 2nd number (how much the seat should move) is also set to 30mm. If the seat is more than 60mm forward of the rear most position, then the seat will move. Less that that it wont. So if you move the seat 100mm foward, it will move 30mm back when you open the door. If someone else taller than you drives the car and moves the seat back so its 59mm from the rearmost and then gets out of the car, the seat cant move back the 2nd number (30mm) without invading the safety room set by the 3rd number (30mm) so it wont move.

If you set the 3rd number to zero, the seat will always move the amount the 2nd number is set to (no safety barrier).

This also applies the passenger seat which can be set in SM2 module.
