Easy-entry/exit feature*
This feature allows for easier entry into and
exit from the vehicle.
The easy-entry/exit feature can be
activated or deactivated in the
Convenience
submenu of the control
system (컄 page 146).
When exiting the vehicle, with the
easy-entry/exit feature activated and
depending on your selection, the steering
wheel tilts upwards and/or the driver’s
seat moves a few inches to the rear when
you:
앫 remove the SmartKey from the starter
switch,
or
앫 open the driver’s door with the
SmartKey in starter switch position 0
or 1.
Warning! G
You must make sure no one can become
trapped or injured by the moving steering
wheel and driver’s seat when the
easy-entry/exit feature is activated.
To cancel seat/steering wheel movement,
do one of the following:
앫 Press seat adjustment switch*
(컄 page 30).
앫 Move steering column stalk*
(컄 page 40).
앫 Press memory position switch*
(컄 page 107).

unintentionally activate the easy-entry/exit
feature, which could result in an accident
and/or serious personal injury.
i

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.

Seats
When entering the vehicle, with the
easy-entry/exit feature activated, the
steering wheel or, depending on your
selection, the steering wheel and driver’s
seat will return to their last set position or
a factory-set maximum forward position
when you:
앫 close the driver’s door with the ignition

switch with the driver’s door closed.
Removing and installing front seat
head restraints
For information on head restraint
adjustment, see “Seats” (컄 page 35).
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.
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 posi-
tion 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 posi-
tion or to memory position, adjust the
seat to the desired position or press
and hold the respective memory
position switch* (
컄 page 107).
i
Adjust the head restraint in such a way
that it is as close to the head as
possible.
Warning! G
For your protection, drive only with properly
positioned head restraints.
Adjust head restraint so that the center of
the head restraint supports the back of the
head at eye level. This will reduce the poten-
tial for injury to the head and neck in the
event of an accident or similar situation.
