STEERING WHEEL HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT NOT WORKING
The axial/vertical adjustment of the steering wheel is carried out by means of the control located at the side of the steering column connected to the Steering Position Node.
The Steering Position Node is, in turn, connected to the axial/vertical adjustment motors and the potentiometers connected to the two motors are designed to memorize the position of the steering column.
When the speed of the vehicle exceeds 10 Km/h the adjustment of the steering column by recalling the position memorized is not possible.
