Here's a short video that tells you where to find it if you have it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtZw-S6S9MM

I disconnected it right away, too much wait for everyday use...

OP, practice my method... one leg goes out and at the same time you gain impulse with the back of your arm (triceps) on the side of the seat. Do it three times and you should be good to go...

I've had a stroke, and it's getting more difficult.

People smirk when they see me crawl out of my SPASM Carrera at the gas station. Fell like I'm getting up off the floor.

Thank you for pointing out this feature. After over a year of ownership I had no clue it existed. I set it up yesterday and it helps a lot.

I'm starting to get use to the lower seating position. It's the price of driving a sports car. I think entry assist is partially counterintuitive because it lowers the seat as it pulls the seat back.

I don't think I'll ever get use to the seat belts being so far back.

been doing this for decades in ALL my cars , sports car or not , getting in AND out and have never had ANY side bolster wear in any of my seats , even years later and most critical when you have limited door swing opening , such as your garage or in parking lots
