Steering-Column Memory

The position of the steering column in each direction of adjustment is recorded by a Hall sensor. This position is stored in the centre console switch cluster (SZM). This allows the Key Memory to call up the position of the steering column for up to 4 vehicle keys.

The tilt adjustment moves to the uppermost position to make it easier to get in and out of the vehicle.

For the easy-access facility, the steering-column adjustment is automatically actuated under the following conditions:

• Terminal R OFF
• Terminal R ON and driver's door opened (via door contact)
• Terminal 15 OFF with driver's door open (via door contact)

The steering-column memory is activated under the following conditions:

• One of the two memory buttons for the seat-mirror memory and the steering-column memory on the seat is pressed (from terminal R OFF).
• Another remote control is used (personalisation). Condition: The selection "Last seat position after unlocking" is activated in the "Settings" menu in the Central Information Display (CID) (from 09/2003).

In both cases, the steering-column memory will not move the steering column to the stored position until terminal 15 is switched ON.
