Default drivers seat

Is there a setting that allows the drivers seat to retract all the way backwards after you put the car in park and shut off? I had that function in my GS350 and liked it.

Also any recommended setting I should be using? I noticed a huge suite of choices.

My seat has to be all the way back all the time so i've not looked for a setting to do that.

Here on page 4 though it says you can make the steering wheel get out of the way when you turn the car off.

I set my seat memory #1 (or the one closest to the dash) for forward/driving. And hit #3 just before turning the car off, and the seat goes way back for an easier exit.
I hit #1 upon reentry.

The 2016 Vette I traded had the easy entry/exit seat built in, as well as front camera.
Nothing is perfect!

I'm really not sure about your Truck - - but - - if you mean Trunk you might want to check the position of this button in your glovebox.

Yes, both seat and steering wheel retraction can be set through the vehicle customization settings. Here's the menu path:

Menu>Setup>Vehicle>Vehicle Customization>Other Vehicle Settings>Driver's Seat Easy-Exit Slide (choose Full)>Steering Column (choose Tilt and Telescope)
