Default Easy exit.. Like it, but, can I adjust how far back it goes?

I'm liking the whole easy-exit thing, but, it goes SO far back that when I get back into the car, I can barely reach the brake to turn the car on. Yeah, I guess I can put the seatbelt on first, but, in Southern California, things get HOT in the summer.. I'm used to turning on the car THEN, once the baking heat is being Air Conditioned into something tolerable, putting on my seatbelt.

So, is there a way to customize the end location of the easy exit?

You can adjust it with the Carista app. Just search and you'll find plenty of information on it.

You can set it in car settings by yourself. There are three options:
1. OFF
2. Middle
3. Full

I have it set to OFF. Steering wheel movement is enough for easy exit for me.

Yup, that particular setting is not a "dealer-only" setting, so if you have a navigation system, you can adjust it from the in-dash settings and you don't need Carista. If you don't have a nav or if you want to change additional settings, you can use our app, Carista. See https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...rista-app.html

I use 'partial', which I think is just the right amount.

You mean you don't want to have to crawl forward onto the floor first in order to get out??!

I have tried all the settings and at 5'10" I have found just the wheel moving is sufficient for me. Let's me roll off the C column and out easier too. I found FULL too far unless you have long legs and PARTIAL still left me wanting to squeeze past the C column more easily. I love the flexibility for all drivers and commend Lexus for this driver comfort feature. Something my 2011 BMW 5 M Sport lacked.

LOL I just had the same problem. Its cool and all but it almost puts you in the back seat so I tried the middle setting and its still to far back. I just turned it off and the steering wheel movement is good enough. Now if I just had a seat eject button I would be all set

You should have bought my car. I had it set on "NO" for easy exit and half the time the seat moved back anyway.

Good to know.....I have mine set on partial/middle. Didn't realize having it set on off would allow the steering wheel to still move out of the way.
