Easy Exit/Easy Entry

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lincoln MKX and 2007 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The easy exit function moves the seat backwards about 50.8 mm (2 in) when the transmission is in PARK and 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 seat is less than the travel distance to the end of the track or the function has been deactivated. 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 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 when the transmission is in PARK and the key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder. Easy entry operation will be cancelled if a valid input command is received by the DSM.

The easy exit/easy entry feature can be activated or deactivated using the message center. Refer to the Owner's Literature.
