Easy Entry/Easy Exit Feature

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Lincoln MKX and 2010 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The easy entry/easy exit feature moves the driver seat backwards about 50.8 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 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 driver seat positions before powering the seat for an easy exit operation. This recorded position will be used to return the driver 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.

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, AND WARNING CHIMES for information on the message center.
