Corrected entry: In one scene where John Candy and Steve Martin are in the car, John Candy is adjusting the seat electrically, but later when he is driving he gets his coat caught on knobs. Why does the passenger side adjust electronically and the driver's side is manual?

Correction: The driver's side is also power-adjustable. The rotary knob controls the lumbar adjustment, and the metal hook-like tab that Del's coat gets caught on is a "quick-release" for rear seat passengers, so the seat-back tilts forward to allow entry and exit rather than having to using the power controls every time.
