I was FINALLY able to disable mine!

I saw this in the shop manual also, but I could not get it to change....until tonight! One key step that I did not find, is that unlike when you enter the settings with the ignition on, this step MUST be performed with the ignition off. I accidentally stumbled upn this by trying it with no key in the ignition, and after about 12 seconds, it blinked as described.

Because this is performed with the seat in the back position, the next time you turn on the ignition, you will need to reselect your seat memory to return to the driving position, but both memories are still stored as before.

 

Re: I was FINALLY able to disable mine!

Thanks daschtick, your tip worked like a charm! saved me a dealer visit and they wanted $69 to look at the problem and hook it up to a machine to turn it off!! Worse, they suggested i should unhook the battery and that should apparently solve the problem.

thanks again.

mine came in the "on" setting also, and i had reason to disconnect the battery. when i reconnected, it was still in the "on" mode because all i had to do was reset my seat to memory. i never had to mess with the entry/exit part of it. i like the entry exit myself.

 

Doink!! Heck, I didn't even know you can turn the danged thing on and off-- tells you how much I've read the manual!! :ftard: Learn something everyday!! Thanks guys.

 

Glad to have found this thread. I've been searching for a way to deactivate the auto entry/exit feature on my non-nav LE, and the owner's manual only tells us to "see dealer". Well I asked my dealer to deactivate it, and they told me (no surprise here) that they couldn't do it -- the feature was permanent!! Total BS. So I'm glad to have found the information I was looking for here.

 

awesome tried this today on my 2013. i always wanted to turn that thing off! thanks pugsly!

 

Turned mine off the day I bought it.

1. Worried about unnecessary wear on the motor
2. It would scoot back into the baby seat

My mom had an M45 and rear legroom on those are cramped enough, if a taller driver got in it would squeeze the back passengers when the driver seat automatically scooted back.

 

err, how exacty do I turn off this silly function? My 2013 T has Navigation, does that mean I can't turn it off...

Thanks!

 

I know this is an old thread, but figured I could help answer this question for future owners. My 2013 has Nav, but there is no option in the settings to disable the entry/exit function (I tried every single one).

However, the press and hold trick worked great for me. One blink from buttons 1 and 2, and the function was disabled.

Interestingly, my owners manual says:

"The entry/exit function can be adjusted or canceled. For vehicles with a navigation system, see “Vehicle electronic systems” in the “Display screen, heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems” section of this manual."

There is no such section in the 2013 manual. Looks like Nissan has a copy/paste error from previous versions. Not sure what year the entry/exit disable option disappeared from the nav settings, but no later than 2013.

Hope that helps someone!

 

Thank you! I need to do this its ruining my motor. My seat motor is about shot from that stupid thing.

Welcome to the dark side, we have cookies here.

 

This worked on my 2012 Pro-4x. With no key in the ignition, I kept the drivers door open and held the "set" button for a little more than 10 seconds and then it flashed once to indicate that the function was disabled.

 

So glad I found this thread! Worked on my 2013 pro with nav

 

Worked on my '15 P4X with nav too. Just not activating the seat memory setting after disabling the back and forth. Will try and reset that later.

 

I am so happy I found this thread. I hated this feature on! I was concerned it would wear out my power seat motor! These steps worked on my 2020 Nissan Rogue!!
