Easy Entry/Exit Feature

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Ford Flex. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The easy entry/exit feature moves the seat backwards about 2 mm (2 in) when the ignition key is removed from the ignition switch. The DSM receives a key out command over the MS-CAN communication network and powers the driver seat rearward. This function will not operate if the function has been disabled. The DSM will also cancel this operation if a valid input command is received, such as the seat control switch or memory recall request.

The DSM will record the current seat position before powering the seat for an easy exit operation. This recorded position will be used to return the seat to this position on the easy entry operation. During easy entry operation, when the ignition key is inserted into the ignition switch, the seat is returned to the position previous to the easy exit operation. Easy entry operation will be cancelled if a valid input command is received by the DSM .

The easy entry/exit feature can be disabled and enabled on the message center display menu. Refer to INSTRUMENTATION, MESSAGE CENTER, AND WARNING CHIMES or Owner's Literature for instructions for using the message center.
