My GS300h has been fine until today when I've encountered strange behaviour with my driver's seat. Formerly a seat belt entry/removal or startbutton on/off moved my seat to drive or exit.

Now it doesn't without my having changed anything. I've checked the settings and it's not "off" or "partial".

I'm aware of the strange way computer settings are altered in the car such as pressing start twice without the brake pedal
and holding the key to set it to the seat memory so I wondered if the key in my pocket had been pressed as I switched off
the engine or as I opened the door.

I've set memory 2 to having the seat back so I can then switch off and exit easily so it's not too bad except I have to press 1
every time for my driving/mirror etc position when I want to drive again.

Does anyone know a combination (e.g. boot lid - brake pedal - wing mirror - turn lever - headlight) which might have affect it
so I can reset to this useful function? I'd rather not pay Lexus a large sum for a simple remedy.

I DO wish they didn't have these secret resets. I found one to alter the number of turn flashes on YouTube (I haven't done it)

I know about moving the seat backwards/forwards/up/down/swing your partner round/do-si-do/allemande left but
I haven't tried that manoeuvre!!
Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Kind regards to all.

 

Is the seat close to the maximum rearward position? From the owner's manual:

"Operation of the power easy access system:
When exiting the vehicle, the power easy access system may not operate if the seat is
already close to the rearmost position, etc."

Try moving the seat more forward, set that in memory, then see what happens when you turn the car off.

 

Many thanks for the advice - I don't think the seat is far rearward at all but I'll try moving and reset.
