Easy-entry/exit feature on ML - Benzworld.org

I have the "Easy-entry/exit feature" active on my ML, with electric chairs and steering wheel.

In the manual says dat the chair will move/NOT depending on setting. What other settings ?

When I stop the car, my steering wheell is moving back, but my chair is not moving.
Is this normal ? Can I do something that my chir will also move back ?

Easy-entry/exit feature in Porsche and Jeep means also drivers chair moving back.

If you have the full easy entry feature then it is reset using the steering wheel buttons and is displayed on the dash. You should have three choices - steering wheel only, seat only and steering wheel/seat also you have the off option.

Go to settings and select vehicle then select easy entry all is straight forward from there, simply select the setting you require.

I have only one option with ON/OFF in the menus for this.

My car is ~ full options.

For 2007+ Mercedes vehicles, only the steering wheel moves upwards. I too miss the function of the seat being able to move back.

Why would your seat move if it's already far enough back?

Sorry to say, but this sounds like a Cadillac or LIncoln option for fat people.

But I'm sure it has some value despite the mechanical complexity and dead weight that it adds to the vehicle.

Huh? All it does is raise the steering wheel and move the rear seat back. There's no added weight or mechanical complexity.

You are right, since it already has power seats and I assume electric steering column adjustment. But adding electronic complexity is not an MB strength, since until recently basic electronics in many areas of the vehicle were marginal.

I still see it as something Cadillac and Lincoln would playup in their brochures...
