if the seat backrest is in an excessively reclined

position. Doing so could cause damage to front

or rear seats.

First move the seat backrest to an upright posi-

tion.

For safety reasons, the driver’s seat will not

return to its last set position with the easy-en-

try/exit feature activated if the system recogniz-

es the last set position as an extreme forward

position. Instead, the driver’s seat will remain at

tion. To again fully return the driver’s seat to

your last set position or to memory position, ad-

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 fea-

ture is activated.

procedure before setting the vehicle in mo-

tion. All driver’s seat and steering wheel ad-

justments 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.
