Steering Wheel Adjustment

This morning, I found mention of steering wheel adjustment in the Daimler "Guidelines for Rescue Services" document (pg 85). See image below.
https://aftersales.i.daimler.com/ser...2007_en_72.pdf

Am I missing something? Previously, I've lamented the arms-straight-out position of my steering wheel, and wished it was adjustable. I couldn't figure out how to move it.

I'm out of town today, so I can't look on my car, but I'll be checking it out tomorrow.

What about the rest of you? Do your steering wheels adjust?

Not on the US models; can't speak for other North American or EU markets.

Yes, that's a helluva typo.

That's a forfour steering wheel in the illustration as well.

That's what happens when training and documentation people don't actually verify against the product they're documenting. Make an assumption that it's present in all models and it goes into a manual. Customers get confused, even angry. Some mistakes in documentation are a safety and liability issue.

Note that this is an "aftersales document" from Daimler. Do you think there is a chance that rather than being a typo, that this is an internal Daimler document that would include information on all models of the smart?
