Zzzzz noise when exiting RX 350
Hello,
I've come to notice a "motorized" noise when I am exiting the car. When I press the off button to turn off the car, I hear a noise and see the steering wheel move up, the chair moves back for easy exit and the "joy stick" for the nav moves back to center. When I pull the door handle to exit there is a ZZZ sound that happens, what is moving when I hear this sound?
Not a big deal, I'd just like to know so I won't touch that spot and stop something from moving when it should. Much like when I make a quick exit out of the car, I won't rest my hand on the steering wheel as I exit because I know the steering wheel is raising.

Steering wheel movement
I am recovering from a total shoulder replacement (ball and socket) and found it painful to do up my seatbelt in my 450h. I got the dealer to get me a Lexus seatbelt extension and I plug my seatbelt into it, which solved my problem. However, if the seatbelt extension is in place, it fools the steering wheel so that it does not move when I exit the vehicle. To get the steering wheel to move in the normal fashion when exiting the vehicle, I have to remove the seatbelt extension. Life's little annoyances!
