The distance the driver’s seat moves depends on where you have the driver’s seat positioned when you remove the key fob from the ignition.

When you remove the key fob from the ignition, the driver’s seat will move about 2.4 inches (60 mm) rearward if the driver’s seat position is greater than or equal to

inches (67.7 mm) forward of the rear stop. The seat will return to its previously set position when you place the ignition into the ACC or RUN position.

The seat will return to its previ- ously set position when you place the ignition to the ACC or RUN position.

The Easy Entry/Easy Exit feature is disabled when the driver’s seat position is less than 0.9 inches (22.7 mm) forward of the rear stop. At this position, there is no benefit to the driver by moving the seat for Easy Exit or Easy Entry.

Each stored memory setting will have an associated Easy Entry and Easy Exit position.
