Default Telescopic Wheel memory

I have read some of the posts regarding memory seat issues. My only issue is that the telescopic wheel doesnt come back out if the car has been off for a while. Once it sits overnight, it forgets my setting. I can hit the memory button and it will come out but it should do it automatically when I put in the key.

Is there something I am doing wrong?

Thanks

I believe it will only work when inserting the key IF you first used the "FOB" to unlock the door.

You will have to hit the memory button if the door wasn't locked.

Thank you!! I was racking my brain trying to figure out why it would sometimes work and sometimes not.

It has to know if it's FOB 1 or FOB 2 getting behind the wheel.

Got into the car once after using the wifes FOB. I'm 6', she's 5'. It damn near killed me ......

That's true for all your memory settings, mirrors, seats, A/C, radio presets, telescopic wheel, HUD page. (or you can press the memory button, as others have stated)
