Easy Entry and Exit Feature
When you switch the ignition off, the steering column will move to the
full up and forward position to allow extra room to exit your vehicle. The
column will return to the previous setting when you switch the ignition
on. You can enable or disable this feature in the information display.

You can save and recall the steering column position with the memory
function. Refer to theSeatschapter.
Pressing the adjustment control during memory recall cancels the
operation. The column responds to the adjustment 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:
1. Press the steering column control again after encountering the new
stopping position.
2. Continue pressing the control until it reaches the end of the column
position.
A new stopping position is set. The next time you tilt or telescope the
steering column, it will stop just short of the end of the column position.
