Question retract driver seat when engine turned off2011 es350

I have tried to program my 2011 es350's driver seat to retract when engine turned off so as to make getting in and out easier. Can the seat be made to lower as well? I tried following the directions in the owners manual to no effect. Even a Lexus mechanic had great difficulty and it did not last long. Any ideas? Stan

I don't believe the 2011 ES does that...my 2010 did not.

Just a thought.

Since my wife is the user of our 2010 model, we programmed seat memory button number one for her normal settings and number two to do this! All she does is hit button number two when she puts it into park and viola!

On my 2011, the steering wheel goes into the full up position when the ignition is turned off. My seat is at the its full extension back anyway. It does not give you an exit position outside of programming seat position #2.

Same as our '08.
