! Do not activate the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT
feature, if the seat backrest is reclined too
far backwards. This can damage the front
or rear seats. You must first move the
backrest to a vertical position.

EXIT feature is active
The steering wheel tilts upwards and the
driver's seat moves backwards when you:
R remove the SmartKey from the ignition lock
R open the driver's door when the SmartKey
is in the ignition lock or KEYLESS-GO is in

driver's seat for driving
If you insert the SmartKey into the ignition
lock with the driver's door closed, depending
on the setting, the position of the steering
wheel and the driver's seat will be changed to
the previously set position.

is stored when:
R the ignition is switched off or
R the setting is stored with the memory
function.

If the crash-responsive EASY-EXIT feature is
triggered in an accident, the steering column
will move upwards when the driver's door is
opened. This occurs irrespective of the
position of the SmartKey in the ignition lock.
