Thread: 2013 Discovery electric steering column

I don't have this in my D4, but in a previous car (BMW), my recollection is that you programmed your seat and column settings in to memory and somehow associated this to a key. Same for wife's settings to her key.
When she unlocked the car with her key after I had used the car with my key, the seat and steering column reset to suit her. And vice versa.
If she used my key, she could push a memory button on the door and it would go to her settings , but I' have to reset next time I used the key by pushing my memory button.
Also recall that the steering column retracted when the car locked, and moved to correct position when ignition started?
Make sense?
But that's my old BMW, probably nothing like LR.
I have had to resort to reading the manual and revisiting it with my new D4.

Hey mate
I have it on my 2010 d4. It only pushes the wheel up to a certain hight and the seat back to a certain position. So, if you have your seat back a fair way and the wheel set fairly high it won't do anything. With my wife's setting where she has her seat forward and the wheel down, with the switch set to auto it wil push her seat back and raise the wheel to make it easier for her to get out.

Thank you, I've had it on my one of Lexus' before and it did the same thing but this doesn't seem to work the same way haha

Hmm thanks for that i might have to mess around with it and see what i can get it to do my seat i think is a fair way forward but the wheel is up to the full height so maybe that is doing it, i do remember my Lexus wheel used to slide towards the dash but i guess this one just lifts up!! Ahwell

Set the switch on the L/H side of the steering column to "Auto" & it will lift the wheel up & drop the seat down & back.

Cheers

Thanks Sneigy i have tired that moved the seat forward the wheel down and set it as a memory setting even and yeah none of it works at all, doesn't move the wheel up or the seat down or back?

Don't forget that both keys can have a different seat setting.
Change remotes & program a stupid setting like all the way forward & column out & down. Then swap keys & let the system do its job the change keys again.
Should all work fine.
HTH Cheers.

Sniegy,
Do all d4s have the feature of different setting for different keys? Mine is 2010 and I can't see anywhere that says it does that.
