Entry/Exit settings
New to forum, looking for help.
Just purchase a VERY nice '07 XK and am having an issue with the "entry/exit" mode for the seat and steering wheel. The car has keyless start/stop, and the manual says something about the car in "convenience mode" for the wheel to retract upon opening door. Seems a little silly to turn off engine then expect to push the button again just to exit the car. But either way, I have the "auto" setting set on the column but the seat does not move.
Am I expecting too much, or am I missing something in the setup?
Thanks

The steering wheel rises to its maximum height when you have the position adjuster set to 'Auto' and you open the door. As u102768 says, that can only happen if your normal wheel position is lower than the maximum. The seats don't move - if you need that, perhaps use seat memory position 3 for exit.
Just for clarity: 'convenience mode' is the state the car goes into when you unlock it or after you've stopped the engine - it's different from the ignition-on state you get by pressing the start button without your foot on the brake. The ignition is off, but a lot of the ancillary systems are powered up so you can do things like move the seats, etc. Convenience mode ends when you lock the car; if you don't, it will eventually power everything down, but it takes up to half an hour, and that sucks power from the battery.
