Put the car in park, and foot on brake. Make sure car is running.. I think... You may want to try in the off position as well. Its been awhile. Set all the positions on the seat where you like and press the memory button button once and then the number to which you want to use for the memory. You hold the number button down till it beeps. That should do it.

Welcome.

There's also a preset steering wheel auto button, down near the turn signal. It set the wheel to move up as you exit the car, then back down when you get in.

The owner's manual is a great resource, though you will be able to find most if not all of it here on the forums. Call up Lexus's Customer Service and they'll send you a free, OEM copy. Mine didn't come with an owner's manual, and the additional info sure is handy.

Thanks guys for all the info. Now i have another problem:

I need help with my 93 SC400 in the past couple of days i've noticed the temp of the car pass the normal temp and climb up to 3/4 hot and then it comes back down to it's regular running temp. Also if the car is idle the temp tends to climb up to 3/4 hot and stay there. I was wondering when the Coolant Temperature Sensor starts to go bad if it causes the car to do this?

Please help me out

Thanks
