Self-Limiting Control
To improve vehicle reliability, the memory system in-
cludes a self-limiting control for full travel positioning of
power seat and Adjustable Pedal movement (all direc-
tions). This self-limiting control may however develop an
unintended movement limitation if an obstruction is
encountered at sometime during usage. One example of
such an occurrence may include a box or package ob-
structing the full rearward movement of the driver's seat.
Once the obstruction is removed, the self-limiting control
may be restored to maximum position. The self-limiting
100 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

control may be restored by first reaching the recently
limited or obstructed position, then release and reactivate
the same button or buttons. Continued seat travel beyond
the obstructed position will indicate the recently encoun-
tered self-limitation has been cleared.

feature may be automatically disabled if the seat is
positioned rearward enough and no benefit from moving
the seat any farther rearward.NOTE:The Easy Exit Easy Entry feature is not enabled
