Easy Entry/Exit Feature

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Lincoln MKS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The easy entry/exit feature is a function of the DSM. When the ignition key is removed or for vehicles equipped with passive entry/passive start, when the button is pushed to turn the ignition off, the driver seat moves backward a maximum of 51 mm (2 in) or to the soft stop. The DSM will cancel this operation if a valid input command is received from the driver seat control switch, memory SET switch, exterior mirror control switch or steering column control switch.

The DSM will record the current seat positions before powering the seat for an easy exit operation. When the key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder or for vehicles equipped with passive entry/passive start, the ignition button is pressed, the recorded position will be used to return the seat to the previous position during easy entry operation. Easy entry operation will be cancelled if a valid input command is received by the DSM.

The feature can be turned on/off using the message center or enabled/disabled using the scan tool under module programming. When enabled, using the scan tool, the feature becomes a user accessible item on the message center allowing the user to turn the feature on/off. Refer to the Owner's Literature or Information Center - Instrumentation, Message Center, And Warning Chimes for information on the message center.
