Controls in detail Seats i For safety reasons, the driver's seat will not return to its last set position with the easy-entry/exit feature activated if the system recognizes the last set position as an extreme forward position. Instead, the driver's seat will remain at or move to a factory-set maximum forward position. To again fully return the driver's seat to your last set position or to memory position, adjust the seat to the desired position or press and hold the respective memory position button ( page 386). With the easy-entry/exit feature activated the steering wheel tilts upwards and the driver's seat moves a few inches to the rear when you: remove the SmartKey from the starter switch, or open the driver's door with the SmartKey in starter switch position 0 or 1 or the KEYLESS-GO* start/stop button ( page 366) in position 1 Warning! G i The last set driver's seat and steering wheel positions are stored when the ignition is switched off ( page 365) the position is stored in memory ( page 385) Let the system complete the adjustment procedure before setting the vehicle in motion. All driver's seat and steering wheel adjustments must be completed before setting the vehicle in motion. Driving off with the driver's seat/steering wheel still adjusting could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. i If the current position for the steering wheel is in the uppermost tilt position, the steering wheel will no longer be able to move upward when the easy-entry/exit feature is activated. If the current seat position falls into a factory-set position range and the system recognizes the current seat position to be rearward enough for easy entry and exit, the driver's seat will not move to the rear when the easy-entry/ exit feature is activated. The adjustment procedure is briefly interrupted when the engine is started. 374
