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

13.4 TRUNK
13.4.1 Trunk, Description
The trunk houses the spare wheel, the battery, an electrical carrier containing electrical fuses, relays and modules and
a compact disc auto-changer attached to body bracketry. The trunk is fitted with push-fit, velour finish, liners (1 Fig. 1) to the sides and front inner panel; the trunk floor is covered with carpet attached to a removable floor board (2 Fig. 1) and a battery cover (3 Fig. I), one covering the spare wheel and wheel changing equipment, the other covering the
battery and electrical carrier.
The floor board rests on the spare wheel, the front and rear edges
of the floor board locating in blocks on the fuel tank
backboard and on the rear of the body. The blocks accommodate the two possible height settings caused by the differ- ence in thickness between the space saver and full sized spare wheels.
A tread plate (4 Fig. 1) is attached to the trunk sill and a liner is fitted to the rear of the trunk below the sill. Interior trim finisher panels are fitted to the rear lamp units accessed from the trunk opening.
The trunk lid
(5 Fig. 1) is fitted with a removable moulded liner and two trunk illumination lights; the lid is supported by two gas struts, attached through press-on fittings between the inner wheel arch and trunk hinge (6 Fig. 1). A warning
triangle is attached by a bracket to the trunk lid and retained in the open position by a rubber block (Europe inc UK only).
Trunk locking is based on a central latch and striker, operated electrically through the central locking system
by an ad- jacent actuator or by key in a barrel lock located behind the trunk lid badge.
For details on renewal
of trunk front and side liners, trunk carpet, trunk seal retainer and battery cover, see relevant

13.8 SEATING AND SEAT BELTS
13.8.1 Seating, Description
The front seats are available in a range of materials consisting of sculptured fabric / leather, leather, sports cloth / leather, embossed leather / leather and autolux. Both seats are available as 'manual', ie manually adjustable with elec- tric rise and fall, manual height adjustment headrests, 'power', ie 12-way electric adjustment, 'power with memory', ie memory controlled, 12-way electric adjustment of seat, steering column and exterior rear view mirrors and 'heated',
ie with integral heating.
Front seats are based on a non
-handed, one-piece frame which includes cushion and squab frames and seat adjuster
mechanisms. The seat switchpacks (powerseats) are fitted to the outboard side of driver and passenger seats; on 'man- ual'seats, the seat height adjustment switch is similarly located. Seat control modules SCMs are contained within the
seat assemblies. The seats are secured through four mounting points to the vehicle floor.
Rear seats are of the bench type with
full width removable cushion and individual seat squabs.
Electrical components installed on the heel board below the rear passenger seat are protected
by two covers secured
by two locating brackets on the floor and by two latches on the cover. The latches are released by pushing down on
the two recesses in the top edge of the cover.

13.8.8 Seat Belts, Description
Three types of seat belt are used: tear loop inertia seat belts used on front seats in association with driver and passenger
airbags, standard inertia types fitted to the outer, rear seats and static belts fitted to the
center, rear seat.
Front passenger seat belts are fitted
with tear loop buckles while drivers seat belts have the tear loop fitted to the out- board anchorage. The front seat belts are provided with height adjuster units which are attached one to each of the
'B' posts.
13.8.9
Where emergency locking retractorlautomatic locking retractor seat belts are provided, the belts have two operating
modes:
1.
2.
The inertia reel mode operates to allowthe occupant some freedom of torso movement. The static reel mode prevents
belt payout and thereby does not allow the occupant freedom of torso movement. When the seat belt is attached to
a child seat which has its own independent harness, the static mode must be used.
The seat belt defaults to the inertia reel (adult passenger) mode when
in the stowed (fully retracted) position.
To activate the static reel (child seat) mode, pay out the belt to its
full extension. The ratchet mechanism is now en- gaged. When retracting the belt back into the reel, the ratchet operation may be felt. It can be noticed that the belt is
unable to reverse direction.
To revert to the inertia reel mode, pay the belt back into the reel to the stowed position.
