Comfort Entry Aid

The switch for the comfort entry aid feature is positioned at the top of the seat back. The switch provides an input to the seat module which activates the seat forward/backward motor.

When pressed forward, the motor rapidly moves the seat to its most forward position.

When the switch is pressed rearward, the seat returns to the previous set position.

When the lever for the backrest is raised and the back rest is pulled forward, the back rest lock switch provides an input to the seat module. The module activates the head rest motor and it moves down to its lowest position. When the seat back rest is relocked, the module activates the head rest motor to return to its previous set position. This feature will only activate when the seat is moved forward far enough to cause the head rest to interfere with the sun visor as the back rest is pulled forward. The seat module recognizes the position of the seat base for activation of this feature.
