![Question](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I'm 6'4", my wife is 5'3" - big difference. She drives a Grand Cherokee Limited, I drive the GX. Both have memory 1 & 2 presets for the driver seat. Here's the difference. In her Jeep, when the car is put in park and/or the car is turned off, the driver seat automatically moves back and the steering wheel retracts unlike my GX, the seat and steering wheel remain in the preset position which makes it really dificult for me to get in the vehicle following my wife or I have to open the door, hit my preset button and wait....
Is there a code or sequence to program in order to make the vehicle's seat back up and the steering wheel retract whenever the car is put into park or the key is turned off in order to make entering and exiting the vehicle more convenient?
Something similar to the door locking functions etc?? You know what I mean...
Thanks CcS

Cliffy,
Yes, there is a funtion very similar to the door lock functions you describe, although by default, it should have been set to have the Steering wheel, pull up and retract into the streering column.
I'm in the office right now with no access to owner's manual but it is DEFINATELY there...
One CAVEAT, the GX, unlike your JEEP, does NOT pull the seat back, only the steering wheel moves up and retracts...

The steering wheel does retract, however we would like it better if the seat moved back as well. My wife does sit very close and high up while driving and it would be easier for her to exit if the car automatically moved the seat when put in park and/or turned the vehicle off. Plus I wouldn't rack my knees when I quickly jump in to drive to work in the morning as I'm about to do....
Thanks, CcS

Sorry, Cliff, I thought your original post stated that the steering wheel didn't retract as well as the seat.
Don't know if there is anything that can be done with the seat though, I feel your "pain" in this situation...

NOW THAT IS A GREAT IDEA!!! Simple and inexpensive! But she is pregnant and moody. I think I'll wait until after the baby - then try my luck!
Thanks for the suggestion!

When I open the door, I just hit the #2 button (for me) rather than have her hit me

PS - I have the same issue. Wife is 5'0" and I am 5'10". She sits pretty close but reclines the back of the seat. When I push the button designated on the door the seat FIRST adjusts the recline position and then it slides back and only then does it LOWER the seat to the point I can actually get in the frigging thing! I sure wish this was like either the BWM or Benz's I had before. The car KNOWS who owns which keyfob and adjusts the seating position based on the keyfob that was pushed. That way the door is unlocked and the seat is in the right position (usually by the time I have opened the door). Not so on this GX
