Easy Entry Function

[fulmer]

Hello everyone,

To start out with, I've got a 2009 V6 with the sport seat memory option (GTS style). This includes the power telescoping steering wheel (page 45 of the owners manual).

When the Easy Entry Function button is enabled (button pressed in), the drivers seat is supposed to move back when the door is opened and move to the stored position when engine is turned on (I've saved my key to memory #1 and my wife's key to memory #2).

When you get into the car, the seat height, steering wheel adjustment and seatbelt shoulder height gets set properly, but for some reason the seat forward/back setting never gets set properly. The seat doesn’t move forward or backwards at all. I figuered that I would just press the memory button and it would move to the correct position, but when you press and hold the memory button (for example #1) the seat will move forward WAY too far, not to the correct stored setting.

When you get out of the car, the seat moves forward slightly (about 2-3 inches). The steering wheel correctly moves completely out of the way though.

Any ideas?

I would suggest a visit to the dealer, to check it out with the PIWIS tester, since the car is still in warranty.

Thanks RMF, I'll talk with the dealer and see what he has to say...

Anyone else see this type of issue before?

Ended up going to the dealer this weekend. I had them check the seats and they found that a sensor was not working properly. That was causing the seat to move forward (instead of backwards) when the door opens. They've ordered the part and I'll take it back to the dealer next Monday for warrenty work. Hopefully this will fix it ;-)
