Easy-entry/exit feature
This feature allows the driver an easier entry
into and exit from the vehicle. When entering

in its uppermost position.
The easy-entry/exit feature can be activated
or deactivated in the Comfort submenu of the

and/or serious personal injury.
With the easy-entry/exit feature activated,
