Noticed with Seats today

I noticed with the seats today that in addition to the seat position being memorized, the seat also stores the information about the various lumbar supports and inflates or deflates them to the memorized setting.

I never realized that before.

My E55 does that too. It's real nice.

One more thing

I noticed one more thing with the seats that I like. On previous models you have to hold the memory preset button down until everything gets in place, now in the 600 just pressing and releasing the preset button and things all go into place where they were stored.

Can you do that while the car is moving? My Lexus did that, but the transmission had to be in park. What a bad idea in my opinion.

Yes, while driving or parked either way.

Lexus puts too little faith in their customers. You can't be in motion to use the navigation, or to change the seats from one setting to a preset setting, and a bunch of other minor annoyances. :x

Correctamundo, that is why I got rid of mine. I like that feature Stephen.
