Default Entry & Exit.

Hi guys, I just bought a 2014 250 yesterday. Coming from a 2010 Maxima, getting in and out of the vehicle was a breeze. When the car was shut off the seat would slide back and the steering wheel would raise. I am aware that the steering wheel in our cars are not automatic, however the seats are powered seats, is there anyway to get the seat to go back automatically without doing it manually to make getting in and out easier? As a short guy with the seat pretty high and the steering wheel low, it makes getting in and out a pain in the ***.

2014 250 F-Sport package btw.

I got a 2015 IS 350 F-Sport, and when I turn the car off, the steering wheel would go back and raise up. The seats, however, do not move.

I have this option in my is350 luxury package. I don't like the seat to move to the back, so I let the steering wheel to raise. You could choose between partial (with seat not moving) or full assist (the seat will slide to the back also).

The 3IS models equipped with the Luxury package have memory seats as well as a telescoping steering column that does exactly what you want.

Lucky you, i was very surprised to see that in a 2014 Lexus they did not have a powered steering wheel while my Max was a 2010.

I am going to assume that the F-Sport package doesn't include these features which is a bummer.

True, the Luxury package wasn't available in the F-Sport, which is why I bought the base model instead. Plus, I preferred the real leather that is available in the base/Luxury model.

This feature is available for the F-Sport if you get the VGRS package.

Only the power telescopic steering wheel with VGRS in F-Sport. We're out of luck with the Memory/auto sliding seats. Not having mem seats with 2 different drivers is a pain.
