"If you choose SEAT EASY ENTRY ON, when you turn the
ignition off and remove the key, the seat will automatically
move back and the telescopic steering wheel (if equipped)
will return to its full-forward position for an easy exit or an
easy entrance when returning to the vehicle."

All I recall my seat doing is going to the back of the track. No downward movement that I can recall.

That would be correct sir. Being easy entry, dropping the seat to the floor pan would make it that much more difficult to get out and getting in would be a crash landing

program the seat to where you want it to be when you exit, then hold down the Memory 1 & 2 buttons till they flash. You are now programed.
When you want to exit the ve-hickle just push the memory 1&2 buttons simultaneously. the seat will slide back to the position you have pre-programmed. And thats all she wrote!

I would like to thank Brad from Huntington Chevy for the fix to this issue.
In fact it does go back and down. My senors were out-of-wack and needed to be reprogrammed.
With key out:
Move your seat all the way down. Once down, tap the up/down button 6 times.
Your sensors have been reset

I wonder if that is the cause of many of our seat ailments. Mine doesn't always go to my desired forward position. Does this work on the front/back motion also???

Although, since I did that 6 button down thing; and the sensors reset; I havent had any issues with the forward or the easy exit.. So, try to reset the sensors..
Happy trails; maybe I'll see you on the road since you are local to me. Umm, I'll be at the LICOA event held at Huntingtion Chevy on April 30th @ 8am.
