Easy Entry/Exit The easy entry/exit feature is a function of the DSM that moves the driver seat back approximately 50.8 mm (2 in) (unless seat is already positioned at or near the end of travel) when the ignition is turned off. The DSM receives ignition off status over the MS-CAN (medium speed-controller area network) and operates the driver seat rearward. The DSM cancels this operation if a valid input command is received from the driver seat control switch, memory set switch, exterior mirror control switch or if the function has been disabled. The DSM records the current seat positions before operating the seat for an easy exit operation. During easy entry operation (when the ignition is turned on), the seat is returned to the recorded seat position prior to the easy exit operation. Easy entry operation is cancelled if a valid input command is received by the DSM. A memory position recall using the memory set switch also overrides the easy exit operation. The easy entry/exit feature can be enabled/disabled on the message center. For information on programming vehicle settings in the message center, refer to the Owner's Literature.
