Do not activate the easy-entry/exit
feature 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
position.
With the easy-entry/exit feature activated,
the steering wheel and driver’s seat will
return to their last set memory position or a
factory-set maximum forward position when
you:
R
close the driver’s door with the ignition
switched on
R
insert the SmartKey into the starter switch
or press the KEYLESS-GO start/stop
button once with the driver’s door closed
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 (Y page 323).

The last set driver’s seat and steering
wheel positions are stored when the
ignition is switched off and the position is
stored in memory.
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:
R
remove the SmartKey from the starter
switch,
or
R
open the driver’s door with the SmartKey in
starter switch position 0 or 1 or the
KEYLESS-GO start/stop button in position

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.
G
Warning!
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.
Rear seat head restraints
G
Warning!
For safety reasons, always drive with the
rear head restraints in the upright position
when the rear seats are occupied.
Keep the area around head restraints clear
of articles (e.g. clothing) to not obstruct the
folding operation of the head restraints.
G
Warning!
For your protection, drive only with properly
positioned head restraints.
