What does this fault code mean?
The easy-entry control, which moves the seat forwards and tilts the backrest, has been activated for too long, and the fault code is set then. The function button then does not work and seat functions may get worse.
Possible causes
- The easy-entry control has stuck in the pressed position
- Damaged control panel
What you can do
- 1Press in and release the easy-entry control to check that it has not stuck
- 2Check whether the control is sticking because of dirt, or whether something is preventing it from springing back
- 3Read and note the fault code, clear it and test the control to see whether it returns
- 4If you have a diagnostic tool: check in live data that the control's value changes when it is pressed and released
- 5If the control does not spring back and the cause is not dirt or an object, have a workshop replace the control panel
Symptoms you may notice2
- The function button does not work
