Modern vehicles like the Hyundai Palisade are designed with convenience in mind, and a key aspect of this is personalization. Imagine a scenario familiar to many households: different drivers with vastly different seating preferences. The Hyundai Palisade cleverly addresses this with its “Seat Easy Access” feature, seamlessly integrated with your key fob to make every drive comfortable from the moment you open the door.
This intelligent system automatically adjusts the driver’s seat and steering wheel to maximize space when exiting and restores your preferred settings upon entry. Let’s delve into how this feature works and how it enhances your driving experience.
Effortless Exit: Creating Space
When you turn off your Palisade, shift into Park (P), and open the driver’s door, the “Seat Easy Access” system springs into action. Here’s what happens:
- Driver’s Seat: The seat automatically moves rearward, creating more room to get out of the vehicle gracefully. The extent of this movement can often be customized within your Palisade’s settings.
- Steering Wheel: The steering wheel also moves upward, further increasing the space and making exiting the vehicle a breeze.
It’s worth noting that the seat might not move fully rearward if there isn’t sufficient space behind it. The system is designed to be practical and avoid bumping into rear passengers or seats. Additionally, you might observe the steering wheel making minor forward adjustments periodically – this is a normal self-calibration process.
Seamless Entry: Returning to Your Comfort Zone
The magic of “Seat Easy Access” continues when you re-enter your Palisade. As you approach with your smart key fob and open the driver’s door, or when you switch the ignition to ACC, ON, or START, the system recalls your settings and adjusts everything back to your ideal driving position:
- Driver’s Seat: The seat smoothly moves forward to its original, memorized position.
- Steering Wheel: The steering wheel returns to its pre-set height and depth.
Customizing Your Seat Easy Access Settings
Tailoring the “Seat Easy Access” feature to your exact preferences is simple through the Hyundai Palisade’s intuitive infotainment system. Here’s how you can access and adjust these settings:
- Navigate to the Settings menu on your infotainment screen.
- Select Vehicle.
- Choose Seat.
- Tap on Seating Easy Access.
- Here, you’ll find options to customize:
- Driver Seat Easy Access: You can typically select between “Normal,” “Extended,” or “Off” to control the extent of the seat movement.
- Steering Wheel Easy Access: Toggle this feature “On” or “Off” to enable or disable the automatic steering wheel adjustment.
By mastering the “Seat Easy Access” feature linked to your Hyundai Palisade Key Fob, you unlock a new level of convenience and personalized comfort. This smart system ensures that every journey begins and ends with ease, perfectly tailored to your individual driving preferences.
