The Entry Assistance feature can be activated or deactivated in the MMI. After entering and starting the vehicle, the driver and/or passenger seat does not return to its original position. Instead, the seat reverses its direction and moves all the way back. After pressing the seat memory switch, the seat moves to the selected memory position. Page 1 of 4 © 2021 Audi of America, Inc.

Technical Background While the seat moves during Entry Assistance, a brief action by the driver/passenger (e.g. applying the brakes, pushing against the footrest) causes a voltage peak in the seat control module. As a result, the overload limit is activated, causing the seat to reverse its direction of movement. In the old software, the overload limit was programmed with this low force value to ensure that the pinch protection is sensitive enough when the seat moves backward. In contrast to the old software, the new software can distinguish between forward and backward movement and define different forces respectively. Since the force during forward movement is not subject to pinch protection requirements, it can be higher in the new software. Production Solution An improved software to address the condition was implemented in series production with model year 2021 in the driver seat control module, J136 (address word 0036) and passenger seat control module, J521 (address word 0006).
