Seating tip
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
My much-loved Lexus SC400 would raise the steering wheel and back up the driver's seat when the ignition was turned off, making it easier to exit or enter the car.
The F-type only raises the steering wheel but it does have three seat memory settings. So what I do is back the seat fully to the rear, lower it, and raise the steering wheel to its highest position and store that on M3. When I'm ready to exit the car I select M3 and its much easier to exit the car.
I set the seat position, etc, that I use when driving to M! and my wife sets her desires to M2 so that upon entering the car we can return them to driving position.
A nice feature of the F-type is that the memory buttons work even with the ignition off.

Mine is in the shop, so I can't check - but I know my ftype shares a lot of interior bits (including menu software, nav items, etc) with my Evoque.
In the Evoque, you can press Menu on the steering wheel and play with the many settings in there -and one of them (don't recall the name) puts the seat back in the farthest position when you turn off the car.
Don't know if the Ftype has that or not, but it is slightly non-intuitive, in that it is not with the seat controls where they have the memory, and not with the wheel adjustment knob - but instead in a software menu.
