    Help!
    My FF's steering wheel used to raise-up to the highest position upon turning off the ignition.
    Now it just stays at the driving position on exit.
    Is there a switch or button I bumped by mistake?

    Mine just stays at the driving position, and it came that way 2 weeks ago. Maybe there is a setting for it?

    The owners manual is not too complete, from what I can see, unless there is another separate manual for what is available as options in the screeens.

    Reset your seat memory position by pushing one of the memory buttons on the seat until you hear a "beep" - see if that will reset your steering wheel easy entry

    Also, jiggle the position switch around a bit, it worked on mine.

    I never knew it was supposed to move up ... guess I need to figure that out too.

    My curiosity was piqued by the OP, so I verified that my '14's wheel doesn't move up either. I then looked through the manual and ... nothing. I checked all the set-up functions in the left TFT display and ... nothing. So I am scratching my head. It is a feature I don't really need and the car does not seem to have it. But maybe I missed something.

    Well, it's there. Switch off the engine on mine and the wheel goes to it's highest position.

    You may want to check that a) your wheel is in an "out" position, i.e. extended to some degree away from the dashboard, and b) that your normal driving position isn't with the wheel at its highest.

    Mine didn't retract unless condition a, above, was satisfied.

    My wheel for my driving position is all the way out.. and near all the way down.
    I really miss having the easy ingress/egress of this feature since the FF is my daily drive.

    And it once worked for you. Oddly I can't call up the feature in my '14. Maybe they dropped it in recent builds (?)

    Aha. It works. But it moves silently after shut off and is easy to miss.

    Called my local Ferrari Dealer tech...
    He said it sounds like my drivers seat memory module might be going bad.
    According to him, there are no extra switches or settings, it should just work on exit.
    Today, the steering wheel exit feature started working again on it's own... LOL !!!
    Go Figure.

    Hmmm. Often if a fault is intermittent it is a short. The techs hate to chase shorts, much prefer to replace a module. Keep this in mind.

    Maybe moisture was shorting it out. Now that it has evaporated, things are working as expected again. Just guessing here.
