TILT/TELESCOPE STEERING COLUMN
Power tilt/telescope steering column
Never adjust the steering wheel when the vehicle is moving.
The steering column can be
adjusted manually by moving the
four-way rocker adjustment control
located on the multi-function
control below the turn signal/wiper
control stalk. The control will adjust
the column as long as held or until
the column reaches the end of
travel.
The telescope function is adjusted
by moving the control toward the
driver to telescope out and moving
the control toward the instrument
panel to telescope in.
The tilt function is adjusted by moving the control up to tilt up and
moving the control down to tilt down.
The steering column positions are automatically saved and can be
recalled along with the vehicle personality features when a memory
position is selected through the remote entry transmitter or memory
switch on the driver's door (if equipped with memory feature).
During easy exit (if activated through the Message Center) operation,
the column will move to the full in and up position. When the key is
inserted into the ignition switch, the column will return to the previous
setting. When you remove the key, the column will move away.
If the steering column adjustment control is pressed during memory
recall it will cancel the automatic operation and the column will respond
to manual adjustment of the control.
