[W126 Coupe] Normalizing California

[Mister McGoo]

A marginally off-topic question to California owners regarding power seat controls:
 
Normal people assume that when the driver's door is opened, without the engine running and without the ignition "on", the seat adjustment works.  I have a California car here (124 - 300TE, 1988) on which the power seats will operate perfectly only when the ignition is "on".  (Driver's seat is memory, passenger seat is not... both operate the same)  Is this a California feature?  Are all people required by law to be the same size in California?
 
If not, has anyone experienced this "feature" and know how to "normalize" it?
