I'm trying to figure out how to get the rear seats to retract to their full upright position automatically when the door is opened. Of course i'm talking about the rear seats in the UL models that have reclining seats.

In my previous UL, when i opened the rear door, that rear seat closest to that door retracted to a full upright position, making it easy to get in and out of the car. In my current UL (2005), when i open the door, nothing happens. The reclined seat stays reclined.


Any ideas on how this is set?

Thanks for posting this image. I searched the Lexus.com owners website using the owners manual search.. that come up empty. Now, i'll try and figure out what this means.

To summarize, if the C (cancel) button is lit up (enabled), or if ignition switch is ACC or OFF, auto-retract will not engage.

If the ignition is ON and if the C button is dark (disabled), and if the brakes are applied OR the gearshift is in PARK, auto-retract will engage.

Hey, thanks for that Stan - I learned something new about my UL!
