I HATE this function, but I have a real-world issue: infant car seat. We have the baby's car seat behind the driver's seat. And because you can't turn off this damn "auto away function," the driver's seat smashes into the baby's car seat upon exit. Why don't we push the second-row captain's chair further back you may ask? Because the baby seat requires the baby to face backwards, and you don't have enough room to load the baby into the car seat if you slide that captain's chair too far back.

Huge pain the ass. My 4-year old Nissan has this feature, BUT you can turn it off via the in-car interface. Toyota?...we can't even have our dealer turn it off! Horrible design.
