Do not adjust the steering wheel when your vehicle is moving.

Use the control on the side of the steering column to adjust the position.

To adjust:

Tilt: Press the top or bottom of the control.

Telescope: Press the front or rear of the control.

The steering column sets a stopping position just short of the end of the column position to prevent damage to the steering column. A new stopping position sets if the steering column encounters an object when tilting or telescoping.

To reset the steering column to its normal stopping position:

Confirm there is nothing obstructing the motion of the steering column.

Press and hold the steering column control until the steering column stops moving.

Press the steering column control again.

Note: The steering column may begin to move again.

When the steering column stops, continue holding the control for a few seconds.

Repeat for each direction as necessary.

A new stopping position sets. The next time you tilt or telescope the steering column, it stops just short of the end of the column position.

You can save and recall the steering column position with the memory function. See Memory Function (page 134).

Pressing the adjustment control during a memory recall cancels the operation.

The column moves up when you switch the ignition off. Switch the ignition on to return the system to its previous settings. You can switch this feature on or off in the information display. See Information Displays (page 96).

Switch the heated steering wheel on and off using the touchscreen.

Touch the button to switch the heated steering wheel on and off.

Note: You can use the heated steering wheel only when the engine is running.

Note: The system uses a sensor and is designed to control the temperature of the steering wheel and to prevent it from overheating.

Note: In warm temperatures, the steering wheel quickly reaches its maximum temperature and the system reduces the current to the heating element. This could cause you to think that the system has stopped working but it has not. This is normal.
