Setting the Soft Stop

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: If a new DSM or driver seat track has been installed, reset all driver seat track soft stops.

Use the following procedure once a new seat track or DSM has been installed.

During the setting procedure, if the seat track stops before the end of travel has been reached, the DSM has stopped at a previously set soft stop. To set the new soft stop, release the seat control switch and press again in the same direction until the seat track stops at the hard stop for that given direction.

  1. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.
  2. Press the seat control switch horizontal button forward until the seat track stops.
  3. Keep the horizontal button pressed forward for one second after the seat track reaches its forward end of travel. The horizontal forward soft stop has been set, release the switch button.
  4. Repeat Steps  2 and  3 for all seat track axes in both directions.
