Default Power seats

Hi all

Is it normal for the power seats to disable themselves a few seconds after car is started? If so can this annoying feature be turned off so you adjust the seats while on the move if required?
The car is a Volvo V50 2011.
Thanks

I don't think that's normal. Certainly not been the case in any of my Volvos.

Is that driver and passenger seat that do this?

Does it work with ignition power when the engine isn't running? - Key position 2?

When the engine is running, if you hold one of the memory buttons (if you have them) does that move the seat?

Hi

Works fine in everyday just doesn't allow you move seat after engine has been running for a few seconds.
Just assumed it was some swedish/ Volvo safety thing
