Modern vehicles are packed with features designed to enhance comfort and convenience, and the 2024 Hyundai lineup is no exception. One standout feature, often controlled or configured via your 2024 Hyundai Key Fob and vehicle settings, is the Easy Access Seat. This intelligent system automatically adjusts the driver’s seat and steering wheel to provide more space when entering and exiting the vehicle. Let’s delve into how this feature works and how it benefits you.
The Hyundai Easy Access Seat is designed with driver convenience in mind. When you turn off your 2024 Hyundai and open the driver’s door, the system springs into action. Upon exiting the vehicle, with the ignition in the LOCK/OFF position and the gear in Park (P), the driver’s seat automatically moves rearward, and the steering wheel moves upward. This creates a more spacious opening, making it easier to get out of your Hyundai, especially in tight parking spots or for drivers who prefer more room to maneuver. The extent of the seat movement can often be customized within the vehicle’s infotainment settings, allowing you to choose between Normal, Extended, or Off, depending on your preference for seat travel distance. It’s worth noting that if space is limited behind the driver’s seat, the rearward movement might be restricted to prevent contact with the rear seats.

Entering your 2024 Hyundai is just as seamless. When you approach your vehicle with your smart key and open the driver’s door, or when you switch the ignition to ACC, ON, or START, the Easy Access Seat system remembers your preferred driving position. The driver’s seat smoothly moves forward to its original, preset position, and the steering wheel returns to its saved location. This ensures a comfortable and familiar driving position every time you get behind the wheel of your 2024 Hyundai, without needing to manually readjust your seat and steering wheel each time.

To personalize the Easy Access Seat feature in your 2024 Hyundai, navigate to the ‘Vehicle’ settings within your infotainment system. Typically found under ‘Seat’ or ‘Driver Assistance’ menus, you can find options labeled ‘Seating Easy Access’ or ‘Driver Seat Easy Access.’ Here, you can configure settings for both the driver’s seat and steering wheel movements. You can select the desired level of seat movement (Normal, Extended, or Off) and manage the steering wheel easy access function. These customizable settings, often accessed via your vehicle’s interface and indirectly linked to your 2024 Hyundai key fob through vehicle memory settings, allow you to tailor the Easy Access Seat feature to your individual comfort needs and preferences, making every journey in your Hyundai a pleasure.
