transmitters to memory can be disabled (or later reen-
abled) by a qualified DaimlerChrysler representative.
Self-Limiting Control
To improve vehicle reliability, the memory system in-
cludes a self-limiting control for full travel positioning of
power seat and Adjustable Pedal movement (all direc-
tions). This self-limiting control may however develop an
unintended movement limitation if an obstruction is
encountered at sometime during usage. One example of
such an occurrence may include a box or package ob-
structing the full rearward movement of the driver's seat.
Once the obstruction is removed, the self-limiting control
may be restored to maximum position. The self-limiting
100 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE
control may be restored by first reaching the recently
limited or obstructed position, then release and reactivate
the same button or buttons. Continued seat travel beyond
the obstructed position will indicate the recently encoun-
tered self-limitation has been cleared.
Driver Easy Exit and Easy Entry Control
This additional feature provides automatic driver's seat
positioning which will enhance driver mobility out of
and into the vehicle. The seat cushion will move rear-
ward approximately 2.5 inches (60 mm) when the key is
removed from the ignition switch. The seat will move
forward approximately 2.5 inches (60 mm) when the key
is placed into the ignition and turned out of the LOCK
position, only when the seatbelt is unbuckled. Each
stored memory setting will have an associated Easy Exit
and Easy Entry position. The Easy Exit and Easy Entry
feature may be automatically disabled if the seat is
positioned rearward enough and no benefit from moving
the seat any farther rearward.NOTE:The Easy Exit Easy Entry feature is not enabled
when delivered from the factory. The Easy Exit Easy
Entry feature may be enabled (or later disabled) by a
qualified DaimlerChrysler service representative.
Tilt Mirrors in Reverse
This additional feature provides automatic outside mir-
ror positioning which will aid the driver's view of the
ground rearward of the front doors. The outside mirrors
will move slightly downward from the present position
when the vehicle is shifted into Reverse position. The
outside mirrors will then return to the original position
when the vehicle is shifted out of Reverse position. Each
stored memory setting will have an associated Tilt Mir-
rors in Reverse position.
NOTE:The tilt mirrors in Reverse feature is not enabled
when delivered from the factory. The Tilt Mirrors in
Reverse feature may be enabled (or later disabled) by a
qualified DaimlerChrysler service representative.
