It’s driving me mad- at the moment, every time I start the car I have to adjust the steering wheel to the all the way out position before driving off.

Does anyone know how to just change the settings so that the wheel never moves when I lock or unlock the car ??

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I’ve owned the car a few months now ( 911 targa gts) and every time I get in the car the steering wheel moves in. I’m tall and find it easier to get in and out with the steering wheel pulled all the way out. I’ve tried looking in the settings and switching the comfort mode off etc etc but it’s like it doesn’t remember the settings. . Does anyone know how to just change the settings so that the wheel never moves when I lock or unlock the car ?? It’s driving me mad- at the moment, every time I start the car I have to adjust the steering wheel to the all the way out position before driving off. Hopefully it is a simple fix but I just can’t find it !! Help!! Cheers, Dan

POST 2Original post

Yes comfort mode needs to be switched off I believe. Your problem could be due to the seat memory settings for either the key you are using or the driver number. Make sure you have both of these saved “set” for things to stay as you want them. HTHs.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Is there an additional button to press after you have just unticked the boxes ? Like a ‘set’ button ?

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
