Default Auto Entry/Exit Seat

In the 2011 GS 350, where is the setting to make the seat go back for easy exit?
The steering wheel goes up automatically which I guess is set by the dealer but I can't find in the manual how to get the seat to go back when car is turned off. I have the seat positions set but need the seat to go back too. I know this is a feature in some Lexus, is it available in 2011 GS350? Thanks for any input!!

While it is not automatic on your '11 there is an easy work around. Provided you do not have three drivers,
set the #3 setting with the seat as far back as you require (do you carry baby seats, dog crates or briefcases
behind you?). Just before you press the start/stop you can touch #3 and it will advance to the rear!

Reminding you that you can trigger the #1 (or 2) button with either of the key fobs you carry. With only one key
in the car and the car turned off, press and hold #1 (or 2) and then press the "lock" side of the door lock/unlock
switch. Hold both until it chimes and release both. Now whenever you unlock the locked car it will go to your
position. Note: if you leave the car unlocked in your garage you must briefly lock it to get this to trigger.
