Default SC300 Steering Wheel telescope help!

Hey guys! Just a couple weeks ago the telescoping (in and out) feature on my wheel went out. I can still move the wheel up and down, but now it is stuck all the way in. I know how to turn the gear to manually move it up and down, but is there a way to do the same with moving it manually in and out? Or what could my problem be and how to fix it? Thanks guys!

I wasn't able to figure out any way to manually control the telescopic movement.

bummer, i'd love to delete all that for a fixed steering column or a manually adjusting one. i wonder if one from another car fits.

The owner's manual refers to a manual steering column in several places, but I've never heard of it actually existing. Is it only on non-US models, maybe? That would be pretty slick, along with a much smaller shroud that would better lend itself to aftermarket steering wheels.

I'm on the side of the fence of the auto tilt/tele mode being cool the first time, then switching it off because it serves absolutely no purpose for a person of decent mobility. Maybe if you have racing seats to climb out of...but then you'd have even less desire for a powered column.

There are a few threads on here that show how to adjust the gears. IT sounds like that may have happened to you.

For the telescoping? I've only ever seen info on fixing the tilt.
