I wish there was a setting for seatbelt uncles /door open media would stop playing.
YES!!! This is one of the biggest ergonomics problem with the car.
That, and the fact that it either doesn't detect it's in a smart raise zone when turning on, OR if it does, it shows the icon but doesn't actually raise the suspension...

Trying to figure out this sequence. When I park my car, hit the power button and open the door everything turns off like it should. However when I’m climbing out of the seat headlights and dash turn back on. It’s not caused by a fob button getting triggered or grabbing the steering wheel (first 2 ideas that I had and ruled out). I know think it’s something to do with how I get out of the seat and some kind of pressure sensor getting triggered. I have the sport seats so you have maneuver over the thigh bolsters. I typically rotate a little in the seat before stepping out. The other day I tried get out very slow and smooth and it didn’t happen Anybody else notice this and figure why this happens?

The Macan EV community provided great replies and I suggest you follow those.

Personally, I confess I press park the. Power buttons.

As the seats have sensors, inadvertently exerting pressure on flat seat portion and/or backrest and side bolster where there are sensors will activate the car.

Example: when I pull up to the gate at work, if I’m too far from the card swipe to open the gate I have my foot on the brake and extended my arm to tap the gate door key fob. in so doing any combination of the car shifting to park to tuning off in park occurs. Every time I effecting have lifted my body off the seat for the extended reach it shuts off as if a precaution in case the driver were magically ejected and the car stops to avoid crashing.

Please follow the majority of the community’s suggestions. Otherwise smoothly exit without exerting extra pressure on the seat and/side bolsters. Cheers.
