Easy Entry/Exit Seat (Available With Memory Seat Only); To Open And Close The Hood - Jeep Cherokee 2009 Operating Information Manual

Easy Entry/Exit Seat (Available with
Memory Seat Only)
This feature provides automatic driver seat posi-
tioning to enhance driver mobility when entering
and exiting the vehicle.
The distance the driver seat moves depends on
where you have the driver seat positioned when
you remove the key from the ignition switch.
• When you remove the key from the ignition
switch, the driver seat will move about 2.4 in (60
mm) rearward if the driver's seat position is
greater than or equal to 2.7 in (68 mm) forward
of the rear stop. The seat will return to its
previously set position when you insert the key
into the ignition switch and turn it out of the
LOCK position.
• When you remove the key from the ignition
switch, the driver seat will move to a position .3
in (8 mm) forward of the rear stop if the driver's
seat position is between .9 in and 2.7 in (23 mm
and 68 mm) forward of the rear stop. The seat
will return to its previously set position when you
insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it
out of the LOCK position.
• The Easy Entry/Easy Exit feature is disabled
when the driver's seat position is less than .9 in
(23 mm) forward of the rear stop. At this posi-
tion, there is no benefit to the driver by moving
the seat for Easy Exit or Easy Entry.
Each stored memory setting will have an associ-
ated Easy Entry and Easy Exit position.
NOTE:
The Easy Entry/Easy Exit feature can be turned
on or off through the programmable features in
the EVIC. For details, refer to "Automatically
Move Seat Back on Exit," under "Personal
Settings (Customer Programmable Features)"
under "Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)" in Section 4 of this manual.
