10.1 STEERING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
10.1.1 Steering Column Major Components
Integrated column assembly incorporating power, or manual, reach /tilt mechanism and lock.
Ignition switch.
Ignition interlock solenoid.
Key transponder coil.
Body attachment points.
Depending upon model, the steering column may be adjusted for
tilt and reach, either by electrical or manual means.
Power variants may be either automatically or manually adjusted and all types have the entry / exit feature.
10.1.2 Steering Column Operating Principle
Power Adjust: Two independent motor / gearbox assemblies provide infinite adjustment for reach and height within
approximate ranges of 35mm and
13O respectively. Adjustments may be automatically made in conjunction with the
seat memory facility or manually when the adjustment switch is used. It should be noted that selection of 'Off will
disable the automatic entry / exit mode.
Manual Adjust: The cable operated reach adjustment is infinite within a range of 35mm, with the desired position being
fixed
by a rack and wedge. Tilt variations are stepped at approximately 3O intervals with 6 positions being available,
the uppermost being unlatched.
From the uppermost position the column may be pulled down to engage the first detent without using the
tilt lever.
WARNING: MANUAL ADJUST ONLY: TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY, COLUMN UPWARD TRAVEL SHOULD BE MAN- UALLY RESTRAINED TO CHECK UPWARD SPRING ASSISTANCE. THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT IF
THE STEERING WHEEL HAS BEEN REMOVED FOR MAINTENANCE REASONS.
WARNING: ALL TYPES; DO NOT REMOVE THE STEERING COLUMN FROM THE VEHICLE WITH THE STEERING
WHEEL ATTACHED UNLESS THE STEERING
IS CENTERED AND THE COLUMN LOCK IS ENGAGED. IFTHE
SERVE THIS MAY RESULT IN AN INOPERATIVE AIRBAG SYSTEM. SEE LABEL ON STEERING WHEEL

With the vehicle travelling straight ahead, the valve restrictions are balanced, thus providing equal pressure on each
side of the piston. When load is applied at the steering wheel the two halves of the pinion valve are displaced making
the restrictions unequal. The differential pressure then directs the rack piston in favour of the higher pressure.
Asthe turning load is removed the pressures equalize and the steering returns to the straight ahead position, aided by suspen-
sion geometry.
The displacement
of the halves of the pinion valve (rotor and sleeve) is controlled by the elastic deformation of the
torsion bar which is concentric with the pinion and valve.

@ Steering
The rotaryvalve within the pinion housing on the 'Servotronic'system is fitted with a 'Hydraulic Reaction Piston' (HRP). The HRP moves axially, relative to the rotor, on ball bearing travellers (acting as a face cam) and is connected to the
sleeve
by a four bearing helical screw. Pressure applied eitherside of the HRP is translated into a rotational force which
resists torsion bar /valve displacement thus increasing steering effort. The amount of pressure applied to the HRP is
controlled by: a) the differential pressure on the rack piston, proportional tovehicle corneringforce and
b) the position
of the transducer valve controlled bythe SCM from information gathered on road speed. Road speed data is processed
from the left hand rear wheel speed sensor.
