Default Power Telescopic Steering Wheel

I am not from the states, but can someone confirm this for me?

My Lexus IS350 - preowned vehicle brought to Canada from the States, so it is a US Model..

It has full Nav, Backup Camera, Bluetooth, the works.. even have the Auburn Wood, however, from day one, my steering wheel has been a MANUAL steering wheel! the only gripe i have, it is neat when the steering wheel moves out to you when you start the car. Now, to my knowledge, looking through all the US models, I can see that in order to get the auburn wood WITH nav and backup camera, you must have the Luxury package?

If someone can confirm this for me, because it is silly as the car is power this, power that, all of a sudden the steering wheel is manual.

Hate to complain, but I didn't even know this was possible, as in Canada, I know you must have it if you had the wood and nav... US HAS SOOO MANY MODELS lol

You basically have a base package with premium pack option. Only the Sport package and Luxury package get the power tilt/telescopic option.

NAV, camera, and bluetooth are all linked together (if you have one, you have all three). Further, it can be purchased as a single option, which might have been the case with your car.

The premium package is what gives you the wood trim, the heated/ventilated seats, and the perforated seats, which is what you may have. The sport and luxury packages give you the power wheel, along with some other stuff.
