Easy Entry, Easy Exit

The easy entry/exit function moves the steering column to the full inward and upward position when the selector lever is in the PARK position and the ignition is selected off (if equipped with a push button start system) or if the ignition switch indicates the ignition key has been removed from the ignition lock cylinder (if equipped with an ignition switch).

The SCCM monitors the steering column position using Hall-effect sensors that are integral to the tilt and telescopic motors. For vehicles equipped with a conventional ignition switch, the SCCM commands the steering column to the full upward/forward position when the SCCM receives an ignition status message over the HS-CAN, that the key has been removed from the lock cylinder. For vehicles equipped with a push button start system, this occurs when the ignition status message indicates the ignition has transitioned to off. The SCCM cancels this operation if a valid input is received from the steering column control switch or memory position switch.

The SCCM records the current steering column position before powering the steering column for an easy exit operation. This recorded position returns the steering column to this position on the next easy entry operation. During easy entry operation, the steering column is returned to the position previous to the easy exit operation

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