How to keep the Steering wheel from retracting?

I cannot figure it out. How do I keep my steering wheel from retracting when I shut the car off?

Its part of the setup menu in the MID. Hold down the button with the "i" on it for a few seconds to get to setup. Then you will have to toggle through the menus using up/down buttons and center button to select
Can't remember much past that
Do you have access to a manual?

Turn the car off and quickly disconnect the battery before the steering wheel has time to retract! BTW - you cannot stop it retracting.

I thought there was some driver setting that could be adjusted in setup - is it the driver seat retracting that can be off/on?

The automatic retracting up and back is to allow easier egress/ingress.

Look in the manual under Multi-Information Display Position Setup. It is better than the cut below because it has pictures...

There are two position setups you
can make:

MEMORY POSITION LINK
AUTO TILT & TELESCOPIC
While the multi-information display
is in the CUSTOMIZE GROUP
screen, select POSITION SETUP by
pressing the INFO (UP /DWN) button,
and then press the SEL/RESET
button.

Each time you press the INFO (UP /DWN)
button, the screen changes as
shown in the illustration. Press the
INFO (UP /DWN) button until you see
the setting you want to customize,
then press the SEL/RESET button
to enter your selection.

When AUTO TILT TELESCOPIC is
set to ON, the steering wheel
automatically moves fully in and up
when you turn the ignition switch to
the LOCK (0) position and release it,
or when you remove the built-in key
from the ignition switch.

While the multi-information display
is in the POSITION SETUP screen
of the CUSTOMIZE GROUP, press
the SEL/RESET button. The screen
changes to CUSTOMIZE MENU.

Press the INFO (UP/DWN) button until
you see the above display.
Press the SEL/RESET button. The
screen changes as shown above.
Select ON or OFF by pressing the
INFO (UP/DWN) button, then press the
SEL/RESET button to enter your
selection.
