The front seats in your vehicle have an easy entry feature.

For easy entry/exit to the rear seats, do the following:


  1. Object Number: 1250337  Size: A3

    Lift the lever located on the outboard side of the seat, near the top, to tilt the seatback forward.


  2. Object Number: 986971  Size: A3

    Press and hold the button, located below the lever, to move the entire seat forward completely.

A weight sensor has been built into the front seats. The seat will not move forward if there is more than 27 lbs (12 kg) on the seat sensor.

Caution: If either seatback is not locked, it could move forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could cause injury to the person sitting there. Always push and pull on the seatbacks to be sure they are locked.

To return the seat to the original position, do the following:

  1. Make sure there are no objects in front of or behind the seat.
  2. Return the seatback to the original, upright position.
  3. Press and hold the button, located below the lever, to return the seat to its original position. The seat will pause for two seconds when it reaches its original position.

The seatback must first be returned upright before pressing the button, otherwise the seat will not move.

When rear seat passengers are entering or exiting the vehicle, it may be helpful to move the seat belt anchor arm toward the rear of the vehicle.
