Easy Entry/Exit Seat

This feature provides automatic driver’s seat positioning to enhance driver mobility when entering and exiting the vehicle.

The distance the driver’s seat moves depends on where you have the driver’s seat positioned when you place the ignition in the OFF position.

    When you place the ignition in the OFF posi- tion, 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

2.7 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.

    When you place the ignition in the OFF posi- tion, the driver’s seat will move to a position

0.3 inches (7.7 mm) forward of the rear stop if the driver’s seat position is between

0.9 inches and 2.7 inches (22.7 mm and

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

    The Easy Entry/Exit feature is disabled when the driver’s seat position is less than
    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.

When enabled in Uconnect Settings, Easy Entry and Easy Exit positions are stored in each memory setting profile page 34.

HEAD RESTRAINTS

Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of injury by restricting head movement in the event of a rear impact. Head restraints should be adjusted so that the top of the head restraint is located above the top of your ear.

Do not reverse the head restraints (making the rear of the head restraint face forward) in an attempt to gain additional clearance to the back of your head.

To adjust the head restraint forward, pull the top of the head restraint toward the front of the vehicle as desired and release. To adjust the head restraint rearward, pull the top of the head restraint to the forward most position and release. The head restraint will return to the rear most position.

NOTE:

Four-way head restraints have seven tilt/ locking positions. When pulling fully forward, the head restraint will spring back to the untilted, rearward most position when released.

Two-Way Head Restraints — If Equipped Your vehicle may be equipped with front

two-way driver and passenger head restraints.
