How do I adjust my steering wheel?

Hi folks, just signed up after buying a 1997 E200. I'm puzzled as to how the steering wheel rake/reach adjustment is done as I cannot seem to locate a locking handle anywhere on or around the steering column.

Any clues??

I'v no electric seat adjustment on mine, it looks very much like I'v no steering adjustment either as I had a look in the owners manual & it only refers to the electric type adjustment.

Surely a Merc would have the basics as standard?

do you have this switch panel on the driver's door?

No, it doesn't have electric seat adjustment, just manual lever for fore & aft & a lever to crank up the height. (poverty spec!)

I can't beleive a marque such as Mercedes wouldn't have a steering wheel adjustment on an E class, but there's no sign of any lever/handle/knob/button to do the job.
