2016 FORD EXPLORER wheel

End of Travel Position
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. Confirm there is nothing obstructing
the motion of the steering column.
2. Press and hold the steering column control until the steering column stops
moving.
3. Press the steering column control again. The steering column may begin
to move again.
4. When the steering column stops, continue holding the control for an
additional few seconds.
5. Repeat for each direction as necessary.
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.
Memory Feature
You can save and recall the steering
column position with the memory function.
See Memory Function (page 146).
Note: Pressing the adjustment control
during memory recall cancels the operation.
Easy Entry and Exit Feature
When you switch the ignition off, the
steering column will move 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. See Information Displays (page
