Thats a black knob piece left of the steering wheel, if you push it up it will lock the steering wheel back in position. When you look push it down it will unlock the steering wheel to allow you to adjust the steering wheel Up or Down.

I have 2018 GLS WITH a white steering wheel icon that showed up. I can’t find anything in manual. Anybody have an idea. The icon appears next to the drive indicators P D R. I’ll try and attach picture. Norm

This is the mystery
