Position of the steering wheel for driving

The steering wheel is moved to the last selected position when:

  • the driver's door is closed.
  • you insert the SmartKey into the ignition lock.
    or
  • you press the Start/Stop button once on vehicles with KEYLESS-GO.

When you close the driver's door with the ignition switched on, the steering wheel is also automatically moved to the previously set position.

The last position of the steering wheel is stored when you switch off the ignition or when you store the setting with the memory function ().
