Convenience access

I have this feature enable, but I found that my steering wheel moves only about 2 inches up no matter how low of a position I have the steering at. Is there a way to increase this? This makes it difficult to get in and out and I'm a slim guy.

I wouldn't mess with that function because its generally not enough. I would set the seat to the way you want it for getting out, then press M and 1 at the same time. Then set the seat to how you want to drive, and press M and 3 at the same time.

Those two seem plenty for getting in and out and driving.

I did the same - 2 memory settings. The "getting out settings move the seat back and wheel up.

Best way is to enter your Rear first and exit with both feet first lol. You do this a few times, you'll get the hang of it.

Don't do it in front of people unless you want to look like a Ratard.

I have to push 1,2 memory too. Without doing it, I found pretty awkward to get in/out. I do not get though. I get in/out a small Porsche with sport seat fairly easy. Never have to move seat anything. Is it the designed problem?
