Default Sport S+ Mode Automatic Seat Adjust Question

Hey guys, I recently bought my parents 2013 GS 350 and have got a quick question about something (hopefully someone can help!).
When my parents first got the car, whenever you switched from normal mode to sport/sport+ mode, not only did it change the transmission/steering etc, it also automatically adjusted my seat as well. It made the sides of the seat around your rib cage tighter so you wouldn't shift left and right in the seat while turning. It was like it turned into a racing seat automatically (I loved it).
Anyways, since I bought the car, this automatic seat adjustment does not happen anymore when I switch it to sport/sport + mode.
my question is: does anybody know how to turn that seat adjuster back on when switching to the sport modes? And is there a way to adjust the tightness in this mode as well just like with the buttons on the left side of the seat?
I really appreciate it if anyone knows the answer! Thanks guys.
-Ryan

My 2015 f-sport never did that (would be cool), could be a setting in the menu options.

Never heard of that "feature"...and I had a 2013, 2015, and now 2017. The seats stay the same between modes.

Nope. Not seen this. Nothing in the manual. Nothing on the internet.

Maybe you could adjust the side bolsters and save the setting when using Sport+

He never mentioned it being an F-Sport. Could be that the Luxury model did that, since it had more seat adjustments to begin with...

I have a '14 Luxury. Mine doesn't do this. Can't find any feature in the menu settings related to Sport+ seat adjustment. Maybe it does exist.

I think it would be a pretty cool feature.

'13 Luxury with Carista. Don't think that feature exists. Maybe Carista could add it with an update?

Not a feature with sport+, although would be cool. Your best bet is to set one of the three memory seat buttons to one with more aggressive side bolstering so you can go back and forth at will.

Just going to say that too. The wife hasn't ever driven it so no need for the 2nd and 3rd position other than for me to have racing position and ridin' dirty position along with regular Anglo business geek position.
