You must mean "Pic's", abbreviation for pictures ! Go to Acura's web site, they should have a demo on that feature. Basically, the steering wheel is motorized and pre-set for your settings.....

its is something that we need! It allows the steering wheel to move forward and back. So if you have long legs and short arms you can have the seat all the back and still reach the steering wheel.

The 2nd Gen Legend had this.
My Coupe had it and I don't really miss it.
I'm not sure if the RL does or not.

I don’t really know.
I am comfortable driving the CL and I don’t feel the need to move the wheel.
I am 6’-0” and have long arms & legs.

My wife is afraid to drive the car (works for me) so the seats never move from my “perfect” setting.
I don’t use the memory seat feature either.

I agree. Up and down doesnt do much, in or out would be better.

This thread is one year old, but thought I would reply anyways.

The steering wheel on the 2nd Gen Legend automatically moves out of the way (up and in) when the key is removed out of the slot, when it is inserted, it moves out and into your pre-programmed position. I find the feature actually useful as it makes getting into and out of the car painless.

wow props to you for actually using the search function I used to use memory settings for the seats. One to get and one to get out. However, i just drive with the seat pretty far back now so i don't use the memory unless people are in the car with me.

I had an old Subaru xt in college that had a sweet telescopic wheel. Too bad the car looked like a doorstop on wheels...

My buddies in college Dubbed it the "flying wedge".
