Gentlemen function button?

There is a button on the drivers door with a seat with a 2 above it, and a green LED that can be toggled..... I can’t figure out what this does? The user manual just refers to this as a gentleman function button? What? Has anyone figured out what this does?

When you press that button it adjusts the settings on the passenger seat. You gotta get used to looking things up in the drivers guide (user manual). It isn’t exactly intuitive, but works pretty good in the car with the search function.

What natahoa said. It's useful, but I still find it funny as a concept, that from my seat, I can magically make the wife move in her seat.

"honey, why is my seat moving? Ugh, it's smushing me into the dash!! What's happening?!?!"

Lol. I use it when I have a passenger who needs the seat setting changed. The auto setting is for me when I am a passenger. But yeah, it would be a good April fools or Halloween bit. Damn car is haunted.

It comes in handy when you notice that your kid in their child seat is kicking the back of the passenger seat while you are driving.

Also,
Funny that you mentioned "haunted car"
My front row passenger needs a little assistance from time to time.

It's maybe more commonly used in the Asian market, but the "Gentleman Function" enables the "chauffeur" to move the passenger seat as needed to provide his boss with some extra space to luxuriate in.
