Thigh support

Thigh support
These pictures on different threads reminded me of a question about the thigh support cushion/extender in the driver seat. Every picture I have seen of the driver seat in 2007-2012 LS looks just like this, with the front seat cushion flush with the bottom part of the seat.
On the other hand, the front cushion in 2013+ LS unfolds and extends outward from the bottom part of the seat. BTW, this pic is from the 2017 Nightfall edition at Hendrick Lexus.
Even though I owned a 2012 LS for several months, I must not have used the thigh cushion feature properly because I never used it in the extended form, which really gives excellent support to the thigh.
Can someone post a picture of the driver seat in their pre-2013 LS showing the extended thigh cushion? Thanks!

I believe this is accurate regarding what MRBILL said.
Unless there is a directional function that one of the buttons has that I haven't figured out as of yet, the only movement the seat/bottom section performs is the entire seat slides forward and in reverse.
I may be one of the few that thinks the thigh support isn't as sufficient as I'd like it to be in the older model.
After sitting in and driving a good few 13+ LS models, the seats, to me, are in fact more comfortable.

Well, if this is a feature on the LS430, then it should definitely be there in the 460. I want to see pics!

[QUOTE=comotiger;9708910]In that case, what is the purpose of that rectangular button (top left) next to the large square button? The large button moves the entire seat back and forth also. Like I said, I thought I had played around with these buttons when I first got my 2012 LS, but I don't think the seat cushion extended like it does on my 2014 LS.
Ok, so if we start from the upper left and go right...
-Slim rectangular horizontal button: Slides the "seat cushion", not the entire seat, forward/reverse
-Large square button: Lumbar adjustment
-Rectangular vertical button: Back support forward/backward, (I think) also raises/lowers headrest
-Bottom rectangular horizontal button: Slides entire seat forward/reverse; tilts bottom seat assembly upward/downward; raises entire seat up and down
Am I missing anything??
Greg..so my friend...soon!

I want to see pics of what the extended seat looks like. I know the cushion extender button does something in the pre-2013 LS. What I am wondering about is whether it does the same thing as the 2013+ button, where the thigh cushion sort of unfurls and extends outward from the seat.

^^ There we go, thanks 2v1g!
My apologies comotiger, I wasn't ignoring your request, I just failed to make mention that I would take photos later this evening once I had a chance to.
The photos above show in specific detail the identical positions that my LS seat performs, as there isn't any unfurling of the front portion of the seat.
Nice feature to have though in the newer models.
