Button on Steering Column

This is the button I am referring to.

John: That's the "Easy Entry/exit on/off switch"... which when "on" moves the steering column up out of the way of getting in and out when the ignition is switched off. I leave mine "off", cause the regular steering wheel position isn't a problem for me.

Also, if you haven't found it yet, there's a button I really like on the left side of the steering wheel, to the side of the cruise cancel button... it's a small button that turns the steering wheel control lights off and on. Yours might also have a heated steering wheel, and the button for that is same-same except on the right side of the steering wheel controls.

Some other buttons if you haven't found them/figured them out yet:

1) The interior rear view mirror has a button for auto dimming the mirror at night... when engaged, and small green LED light will be on next to the button.
2) On the overhead console there's a button for automatic on/off of the courtesy lighting... it has an icon that looks like the driver's door opening. The "1, 2, 3" buttons are for programmable garage door openers.
3) There's a timer in the infotainment system to set the amount of time the lights are left on after exiting the car.
4) To the left of the rotary headlight switch are two buttons for increasing or decreasing the instrument lighting. To the right of the rotary switch is a button to turn on/off the rear (visibility) fog lamps.
5) When filling with gas, what to do with the gas cap? Well... it's kind-of hoakey, but you're suppose to hang the gas cap lanyard from the little hook to the left and below the cover latch.

Thank you Mr. Hellinger! I just tested that button and it does work the telescopic steering wheel on and off. I did find the button on the left side, very nice touch. Unfortunately I do not have the button on the right so no heated steering wheel. That is OK as the car will only be summer driven. Thanks for your help. The previous owner is supposed to send the dealer the manuals as he when had the car cleaned everything got emptied out of it. I am a manual person, So I will be reading from cover to cover.

If you find you're manual-less and decide to take control of the situation, I'll suggest manuals for "Flying Spurs" are seemingly generally less costly pound for pound than manuals for the GT's on eBay... and basically everything relates for the Flying Spurs as the GT's except of-course some of the back seat stuff.

And do get the separate service handbook (part of the original owner's manual package) as that has the fuse locations and such in it.
