entry/exit feature

Per the manual the entry/exit feature moves the steering wheel up but does not move the seat back.

I recognize there is not much room behind the seat but it would make it easier getting in/out of the vehicle.

I set the seat memory position "1" to move the seat aft when I get out. Sometimes I forget.
There's plenty of room to move my seat back. You must be really tall.

Actually I am shorter but I would like the seat to move back automatically as it does with this feature for other M/Bmodels. In my prior cl the seat moved back and the steering wheel raised.

According to the manual and everything I can find only the steering wheel goes up.

If I am wrong let me know.

Joe, I do believe you're correct.

I asked the Salesman about this when I sat in the car for the first time.

If I remember correctly, my Z06's driver seat moved back and the steering wheel moved forward and up, when I opened the door to get out.

I was informed today that the Illuminated MB Door Sills are not an available option for this model, but it's selectable on the option list. Does anyone know anything about this or possibly have it installed?
