2008 ES 350
Driver's seat no longer goes back for easy exit. Can anyone advise how to enable this setting??

Thanks for your reply.....but no. The steering wheel still moves out of the way. It is the driver's seat moving back all the way for easy exit.

AFAIK, that was never an option on ES350.

I think you could do a MacGyver to make it work.

Set L1 to wife's normal driving position, Set L2 to easy in/out position. When you want to exit press L2, and exit. When you get back in the car, it's in the L2 easy in/out position, enter the car, press L1 to drive normally. Repeat.

or you could use duct tape, and ...oh nvm
