Safety features of your vehicle
Easy access function (if equipped)
To provide easier entry to or exit from
the vehicle for a driver, the driver’s
seat will be adjusted backwards as
far as the distance set by Vehicle set-
ting on the Navigation touch screen
in instrument panel. This occurs
when the Engine start/stop button is
off with the shift lever in the P posi-
tion. If, however, the distance
between the front seat and back
seats are too close, the driver’s seat
could fail to adjust itself backwards.
The steering wheel regularly checks
and fine-tunes itself to find the right
location (the original location) by
going up as high as possible and
moving as close as possible to a
driver.The driver’s seat and steering wheel
will move back to its original position
when a driver closes a driver’s door
with a smart key in his pocket and
the engine start/stop button is in ON
or in ACC.
You can activate or deactivate this
feature. Refer to "Set Up" in
Navigation touch screen in instru-
ment panel.

adjustment driver`s switch.
3. Press the SET button and the dri-
ver's seat forward movement switch
simultaneously for about 2 seconds.

ization process starts.

cally move backwards. With the seat
and backrest moving, the alarm con-
tinues to sound.
3.The seat and backrest will move to
the center again and the alarm
sounds. This signals the initialization
is completed.
