Easy Entry/Easy Exit

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

The easy entry/easy exit function moves the steering column upward when the vehicle is in the PARK position and the ignition is turned to OFF.

The DSM monitors the steering column position using Hall-effect sensors that are integral to the tilt and telescopic motors. The DSM commands the steering column upward when the ignition status message indicates the ignition is OFF. The DSM cancels this operation if a valid input is received from the steering column control switch or memory position switch.

The DSM 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 (Example; The ignition is turned ON). During easy entry operation, the steering column is either returned to the position previous to the easy exit operation or to the saved memory preset if a RKE transmitter is used.
