How to adjust the height of the Audi A6 steering wheel?
2 Answers
There is a lever on the left side of the steering wheel base. Press it downward, then you can manually move the steering wheel to adjust its height. After adjustment, push the lever back up to lock it in place. For manually adjustable steering wheels, simply pull the lever below the steering wheel to unlock it, then adjust the steering wheel position to the most comfortable driving position.
I've driven several Audi A6 models, and adjusting the steering wheel height is a very common feature. The usual method is a small lever located beneath the steering wheel, similar to a small toggle or button, positioned directly below the steering wheel on the driver's side. Gently pull or press it to unlock, allowing the steering wheel to move up and down—adjust to a comfortable height, then push it back to lock. Always perform this operation when the car is stationary, never while driving. After adjustment, test the position; the right height can reduce shoulder and neck strain, making driving more stable. Electric versions offer smoother operation, adjustable via seat buttons or the central control screen. I recommend checking the position after each car wash to prevent dust buildup from jamming the lever. Overall, manual adjustments typically take about 5 seconds—safe and hassle-free.
