Seats come back and steering wheel lifts
Seats come back and steering wheel lifts... only when you turn the engine off. In my last car this would happen any time you were in park and opened the driver's door. I often leave the car with the radio on so that anyone inside can continue to listen to the radio. I have to struggle to get out unless I turn everything off first. Anyone know of a better way?

AFAIK, there is no way around that. I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure that the entry/exit assist feature is only active when the door is open when the car is off. My 03 G Sedan was the same way.

That will let you change the to the "exit" setting and return to the original setting without shutting off the car.
You can still leave the entry/exit assist activated, so it will move the seat automatically when you shut off the car, and at the touch of a button if you leave it running.

I have problem with it too.
With the seat too far out I have trouble hitting the brake when I first start the engine. If there is a way I can turn on the engine without hitting the brake, then this feature is useful to me. Maybe I want to go back with key to start engine?
I have to turn off this feature. anybody with similar experience?

I am the only driver anyway. I'll set my Preset 2 to a snooze position, so I can sleep in peace while enjoying my SOW.

I changed the setting so that only the steering wheel lifts and so that the seat won't move back.
It's harder for a rear seat passenger to 1) exit the car when the driver's seat moves all the way back, and 2) enter the car when the driver's seat is still in the back position.
As the driver, I really don't need the extra legroom to enter and exit the car.

I just set my Preset #2 today. The back is at a more reclined position, seat does not move forward or back, and steering wheel moves all the way up (but it's already quite high as it is). Then, just now, I realized, as a trial, I can set the more "spacious" setting to my key fob, so every time I enter the car, it'll be easier to get in (when exiting my seat, I prefer the back stationary -- easier to push yourself off) . On the other hand, it might be a small hassle to press Preset #1 once in get inside. Too bad my 6MT doesn't have the cool comfort feature you 5ATs do.

I find it easier to get in and out with everything in my driving position, and I'm saving wear and tear on the seat and column motors.
