Tilt Wheel? Mine only telescope. 500-SEC

I read somewhere that the 500SEC is supposed to have tilt wheel but the only button that I find on the column is to power the telescopic function. Is that all the car has, or am I not finding the correct button? With such a big steering wheel it would be nice to drop it down an inch or two so I don't feel like I'm driving a school bus when I turn a corner.

Sounds like someone needs an owners' manual!

I have an owners manual. It only mentions the telescoping function, no tilt. I know the manual doesn't mention everything because there is also no mention of the dual horn switch in the car. I have searched high and low for a way to tilt the wheel but I guess it's not an option. I was only posting here to see if any other 560sec owners may know something that I am missing.
