Default Flashing headlights?

Since this was mentioned in the waving thread. How do I flash the headlights? I know its an odd question but this is my first german car. Also is there a way to adjust the steering wheel up/down, anything at all?

You installed your own Recaro seats and you're not sure how to flash the headlights? Seriously?

Flashing the lights: Pull the **** out as if to turn them on in an older car. You might need to pull really hard if the PO didn't use this feature...
Adjusting the steering wheel: Sitting in the driver's seat, drop your left hand down to your left knee. Then move it a little further down onto the side of the seat. Now move back along the seat side until you feel the switches. Those are your steering wheel adjustments.

OK, I will pretend this is a serious question (maybe it is?) since I can't think of a witty response...

flash the high beams to say "hi". Same any other car, pull back on left column lever for momentary high beam luminance

steering column doesn't adjust in any way

Ray Calvo would have a field day with this one. No wonder Viken left.

I've been waiting for the ideal time to use that one.

well it was a serious question. this is my first german car and i havent really gone and hit every switch and button. This is the first car I have driven with the light switch the way it is. I didn't know how to use my cruise control on my RSX after 4 years until someone showed me.

About the steering wheel, before I chopped up my seat bracket to lower my recaro I wanted to make sure there was no way to adjust the steering wheel up.

I don't mind getting made fun of, since they are such simple questions. I guess its the engineering inside of me that asks a question if I dont know the answer.
