er switch or you have pressed the

wheel and the driver’s seat return to their
last set positions.You can activate the following functions:


Steering column:
Only the steering column is adjusted.


Steering column and seat:
Both the steering column and the seat
are adjusted.
The easy-entry / exit feature can be
switched on or off in the in the settings
menu of the control system (
page 140).

come trapped or injured by the moving

gine is turned off or the SmartKey removed

dren unattended in the vehicle, or with ac-
cess to an unlocked vehicle. Unsupervised
