Easy Entry/Exit

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The easy entry/exit function moves the steering column to the full inward and upward position when the selector lever is in the PARK position and the ignition switch indicates the ignition key has been removed from the ignition lock cylinder. The SCCM  receives an ignition status message over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN). When the ignition status message indicates the ignition key has been removed from the lock cylinder, the SCCM  commands the steering column to the full upward/forward position. The SCCM  cancels this operation if a valid input is received from the steering column control switch or memory position switch.

The SCCM  records the current steering column position before powering the steering column for an easy exit operation. This recorded position returns the steering column to this position on the next easy entry operation. During easy entry operation, the steering column is returned to the position previous to the easy exit operation.

The easy entry/exit feature can be activated or deactivated using the message center. Refer to driver controls in the Owner's Literature for additional instructions for using the message center.
