STEERING COLUMN
(Left–Hand Drive Shown, Right–Hand Dirve
Similar)
Important : Remove the steering column only if the follow-
ing conditions exist:
S The steering column requires replacement.
S The steering and the ignition lock housing require
replacement.
S Another operation requires the removal of the
steering column.
Notice : The steering column is extremely susceptible to
damage after it has been removed from the vehicle. Drop-
ping the column assembly on its end or hammering the
end of the steering shaft can collapse the steering shaft or
loosen the plastic injections which maintain column rigid-
ity. Leaning on the column can cause it to bend or deform.
Any of the above damage can impair the column’s collaps-
ible design. If it is necessary to remove the steering wheel,
use only the specified steering wheel puller.
Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable and let the
vehicle sit for 1 minute to deactivate the airbag.
2. Remove the the lower instrument trim panels. Refer
to Section 9E, Instrumentation/Driver Information.
3. Remove the upper and the lower steering column
cover panel by removing the screws.
4. Remove the switch levers. Refer to ”Turn Signal
Switch and Lever” and ”Wiper Switch and Lever” in
this section.
5. Remove the immobilizer module. Refer to Section
9T, Remote Keyless Entry and Anti–theft System.
6. Disconnect the airbag electrical connections.

bracket bolts to 22 NSm (16 lb–ft).
4. Install the nuts for the rear bracket of the steering
column jacket assembly.
Tighten
Tighten the steering column jacket assembly rear
bracket nuts to 22 NSm (16 lb–ft).
5. Connect the speed sensitive steering electrical con-
nector.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN
CAUTION : To ensure the energy–absorbing action of
the steering column, it is important to use only the
specified screws, bolts, and nuts, tightened to the
specified torque.
In addition to the steering function, the steering column
provides safety and security.
The energy–absorbing column is designed to compress in
a front–end collision to lessen the chance of driver injury.
The ignition switch and the lock are mounted on the col-
umn, allowing the ignition and steering operations to be
locked to inhibit theft of the car.
The column levers trigger the turn signals, the headlight
beams, and the windshield washer and wipers.The tilt steering column uses telescopic function to allow
the steering wheel to tilt up and down in and out. This en-
ables the driver to adjust the steering wheel to a comfort-
able position.
Notice : Apply a thin coat of lithium grease to all friction
points when reassembling.
The column may be disassembled and reassembled easi-
ly.IGNITION KEY REMINDER
The ignition key reminder alerts the driver that the key is
still in the ignition when the driver attempts to exit the ve-
hicle.
An internal switch in the ignition lock cylinder supplies bat-
tery voltage to the reminder chime module when all of the
following conditions are true:
S The key is in the ignition switch.
S The ignition is OFF.
S The driver’s door is open.
For information on removal and installation of the reminder
chime module, refer to Section 9E, Instrumentation/Driver
Information.

CAUTION : Disconnect the negative battery cable before removing or installing any electrical unit or when a tool
or equipment could easily come in contact with exposed electrical terminals. Disconnecting this cable will help
prevent personal injury and damage to the vehicle. The ignition must also be in LOCK unless otherwise noted.
