  2. Press and hold the steering column control until the steering column stops moving.
  3. Press the steering column control again.

    Note: The steering column may begin to move again.

  4. When the steering column stops, continue holding the control for a few seconds.
  5. Repeat for each direction as necessary.

A new stopping position sets. The next time you tilt or telescope the steering column, it stops just short of the end of the column position.
