(8 mm) forward of the rear stop if the starting position
is between 0.9 to 2.67 in (23 to 68 mm) forward of the
rear stop when the key is removed from the ignition
switch. The seat will move forward to the memory/
driving position when the key is placed into the
ignition, and turned out of the LOCK position toward
the ACC/ON position.The Easy Entry/Exit feature will be automatically dis-
abled if the seat is already positioned closer than 0.9 in
