Default Seat Powerback?

Does the RCF on the newer models have the power back seat option when you enter and leave the car? I know the steering wheel moves up and down upon exit but does the seat slide back? I know the 2015's don't but the newer RC's have them. Does the RCF have this feature?

It is not offered in any model year of the RCF, I believe.

Does your RC-F have the Premium Package with Memory System?

Not sure who the question is directed towards, but I have all of the option packages on mine. The seat slides forward/backwards automatically when the seat back is pushed forward and then put back, but his question pertains to the "seat back" so I am assuming he is talking about pulling the back forward and then dropping it back, which needs to be done manually.

I believe the OP means, does the seat retract automatically to the rearward position when the ignition is turned off thus easing entry and exit. My 2018 LC doesn't have it, though later LCs do (it's a smart setting). I don't know about the RCF. I use seat memory position 3 to facilitate this.

This is from the 2018 RC / F owners manual. The actual feature is called "easy access". The manual suggests that this is available on the 2018 RCF and newer models but no one seems to talk about it. My 2015 RC350 doesn't have this feature and it's always a pain to squeeze into the seat with the seat bolsters in the way. It's worse if you can't open the door all the way. The bolsters on the RCF is even thicker so I'd imagine this is even more useful of a feature.

Can any RCF owners check this on their cars?

Make year 2019, model year 2020 RCF. Great feature. Would be struggling without easy access as would the seat bolsters.

My 2020 does the steering tilt and slide back. Sometimes it forgets to go forward so I have to buy the memory button tho.

Easy access will not move the seat all the way back on switch off if the position of the seat is close to the rear most position.

On subsequently switching the car on, the steering wheel moves but the seat does not.

It doesn’t forget, its working as designed.

Got it, makes sense since I was moving the seat back to install the dash cam.

The GS F has this from 2016 on. Not my favorite feature because it makes closing the door a very long reach.
