Easy Exit/Easy Entry

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Lincoln MKZ, and 2011 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The easy entry/easy exit feature is a function of the DSM that moves the driver seat backwards about 50.8 mm (2 in) when the ignition key is removed from the ignition. 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 seat is less than the 50.8 mm (2 in) travel distance to the end of the track or the function has been disabled. The DSM will also cancel this operation if a valid input command is received from the driver seat control switch, memory SET switch or exterior mirror control switch.

The DSM will record the current seat position before powering the seat for an easy exit function. This recorded position will be used to return the seat to this position on the easy entry operation. During easy entry operation, the seat is returned to the position previous to the easy exit operation. Easy entry operation will be cancelled if a valid input command from the seat control switch, memory SET switch or exterior mirror control switch is received by the DSM.

The easy entry/easy exit feature can be enabled/disabled using a scan tool. When enabled, the feature becomes a user accessible item on the message center allowing the user to turn the feature on and off. Refer to the Owner's Literature or INSTRUMENTATION, MESSAGE CENTER & WARNING CHIMES -- FUSION, MILAN & MKZ article for information on the message center.
