Lfsyd Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Hey all, Relatively new owner of an old 2007 is250 sports luxury. It has the telescopic steering wheel that lowers on start. I'll try post a video of this tomorrow if my below description causes confusion (and I'm not even sure it's an issue); but when I get in the car, I place my foot on the brake and press the start engine button. What happens is the steering wheel will begin the lower, pause as the engine turns and after the engine starts only then will it continue to move to my default setting. Is it normal for the steering wheel to hesitate during the engine start process? If I just turn on accessory power it does not hesitate at all. I'm a little worried about the telescopic mechanism wearing out as I am hearing some squeaking. Any help is appreciated! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzle Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Computer is probably bypassing power to send current to starter. Is batt turning over quickly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfsyd Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 Hey mate, I'd say it's turning over relatively quickly? In the video it's about low 20 degrees, perhaps I'm wrong. I only got this car back in December 2018 so not entirely sure when the battery was replaced but it has a century ns70l if that helps? Could it be as simple as replacing the battery? Cheers mate!

bazzle Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 To rule it out try with a jumper att to another batt. but it does start nice and quick on your vid. Maybe its normal on an 250? Need another owner to read post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfsyd Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 That's a good idea - thanks for the suggestion! I'll See if it works! Cheers bazzle If any other is250 owners with the same feature could confirm whether or not this is standard behaviour that would be awesome!
