There isn't, and it doesn't.

But, the steering column is different than previous cars, in that 
instead of a solid rod from the breakaway joint to the wheel, there is a 
tube with a ribbed section - which is supposed to crumple under impact 
(of your chest/face on the wheel)

So it might be listed in a description of ProConTen as an upadated 
safety feature, but it isn't part of the automatic system.
