1990 500sl steering column / memory question

[dangill]

Hi !
I have two questions for anyone with a 1990 sl.

First)
Is the steering wheel designed to raise and retract automatically when leaving the car.
Second)
All of the cars I have had with "memory" seats, mirrors, etc. only required the appropriate 1, 2, or 3 button to be pushed once to travel to the correct position. My car requires the push button to be pressed and held until the seat reaches the correct position. Is this working correctly?
Thanks for any and all responses,
Dan Gill
