Lowering your steering wheel to its max (and side bolsters for that ma

Well as usual there were things about my car that took me a little while to learn. I just thought of this and never know who does and does not know about these common things. But when you lower your steering wheel with the little button and you hold the button down until the wheel is at its furthest point-closest to your knees/most vertical position. If you get to its max position-you can lower it even more if you re-press and hold the button it will move down a bit further even past the point where it moves down maximally on the first time. I am forgetting what that feature is called but I did read it will not let you lower the wheels so much that any part of the wheel obstructs your view of the speedo-however this will lower it to almost that point.
Anyway I always like my wheel lowest it can be and did not realize this until about a month in of driving that it could go further down.
Also with the side bolsters-if you are decently thing guy ( I weight 175ish), whenever I tighten the side bolsters they go to the max when I hold the button down. But then if you press and hold the button down again even when its tightened to the point where it stopped tightening on the first press the side bolsters will continue to tighten up even snugger.
So basically waht I am saying is for the wheel and the side bolsters you have to use the button 2 full times of holding down to get the max effect.
Sorry for the poor explanation on a probably obvious topic but ya never know if someone benefts from it so thought I would put it out there!
