How do you set the steering wheel to adj to your position when inserting the key and them retract when removing the key

I think it was an option and if yours doesn’t have power column then you can’t. If you have got it then you set the wheel where you want using the column stalk, press the red M button on the side seat control followed by the number you prefer 1,2 or 3.
If that doesn’t work then the module behind the seat control panel is broken.
I think that’s about right..

It was a Dealer programmable option - and may be possible with Carly (not tried). It can be done at any time and links key + seat position + mirror position + steering wheel position (if power wheel fitted). If yours used to work but now doesn’t then it could be the module.
