2025 IM5 driver seat memory and Easy Entry: identify the symptom before ordering a motor

Separate stored positions, Easy Entry movement and normal seat adjustment on the Australian MY25 IM5 before specifying a replacement component.

After a change of driver, the seat returns to an unexpected position and the job card says “Easy Entry motor faulty”. On the Australian MY25 IM5, distinguishing memory position, Easy Entry movement and ordinary seat adjustment makes inspection and parts selection more specific.

The manufacturer lists a function, not an Easy Entry motor

Page 20 lists Driver Seat Memory & Easy Entry for all three trims.[Manufacturer specification][R02] This confirms the memory and Easy Entry functions. It does not establish a dedicated motor for Easy Entry or publish its part number. [To be verified]

Keep “unexpected memory position”, “changed Easy Entry movement” and “no movement after a manual adjustment request” as separate observations. They cannot all be attributed to the same failed actuator.

Separate the stored setting from the actual movement

Record the driver concerned, currently visible settings, the position reached, any original warning and any previous seat removal or repair. If the previous settings are unknown, say so; do not invent a storage sequence to explain the symptom. [To be verified]

File observations about memory position, Easy Entry movement and ordinary adjustment separately, retaining the current visible settings. If the repairer confirms an area requiring attention, match that finding to the original component identity. This avoids grouping different items under the Easy Entry function name.

Scope and verification

This article covers only Australia, MY25 MG IM5: Premium 75 RWD, Platinum 100 RWD and Performance 100 AWD.[Model year scope][R02] The cited product specifications identify functions and parts; they are not fault or replacement criteria.

No public data was available in the reviewed material for trigger and memory settings, movement range, actuator responsibilities, initialisation or diagnostic standards; OE numbers, repair parameters, separate parts availability or compatibility/interchangeability. [To be verified] Check compatibility or interchangeability using the vehicle identification number (VIN) and the local Australian manufacturer parts catalogue.
