Easy Entry/Exit Feature

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup, 2012 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2012 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2012 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The easy entry/exit feature is a function of the DSM that moves the driver seat back 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 and operates the driver seat rearward. The DSM cancels this operation if a valid input command is received from the driver seat control switch, memory SET switch, exterior mirror control switch or if the function has been disabled.

The DSM records the current seat positions before operating the seat for an easy exit operation. This recorded position returns 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 is cancelled if a valid input command is received by the DSM.

The easy entry/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.
