for vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go).
•When you remove the Key Fob from the ignition (or
change the ignition to OFF, for vehicles equipped with
Keyless Enter-N-Go), the driver seat will move about
2.4 inches (60 mm) rearward if the driver seat position
is greater than or equal to 2.7 inches (67.7 mm) forward
of the rear stop. The seat will return to its previously
set position when you place the ignition into the ACC
or RUN position.•When you remove the Key Fob from the ignition (or
change the ignition to OFF, for vehicles equipped with
Keyless Enter-N-Go), the driver seat will move to a
position 0.3 inches (7.7 mm) forward of the rear stop if
the driver seat position is between 0.9 inches and 2.7
inches (22.7 mm and 67.7 mm) forward of the rear
stop. The seat will return to its previously set position
when you place the ignition to the ACC or RUN
position.

driver seat position is less than 0.9 inches (22.7 mm)
