When the tilt and telescopic steering wheel auto mode button
on the steering column is set to the ºONº position, the current
position of the steering column becomes the memorized
position.
When the ignition key is removed with the auto mode
button set to the ºONº position, the steering column
moves forward away from the driver and also tilts up for
easy exit and entry.
When the key is inserted in the ignition, the steering column
returns to the previously set position. This occurs regardless
of whether the auto mode button is ON or OFF.
