Manual Upper Column Components

The telescopic slider provides driver crash protection by retracting automatically in the event of an accident; it is clamped in
position to a preset torque.
The manual upper steering column has the following serviceable parts:
Igni
tion switch assembly.
Igni

tion key interlock solenoid.
Bowden
