ADJUSTMENT OF STEERING WHEEL
TILT
To adjust  the tilt of the steering wheel,
push the control switch upward or
downward to set it to the desired posi-
tion.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the steering wheel
while the vehicle is moving. Doing so
may cause the driver to mishandle
the vehicle and an accident may oc-

ries.
ADJUSTMENT OF TELESCOPIC STEER-
ING COLUMN
To adjust the steering column length,
push the control switch forward or
backward to set the steering wheel to
the desired position.
When the ignition key is removed, the
steering column moves forward away from
the driver and also tilts up for easy exit
and entry.
When the key is inserted into the ignition
switch, the steering column returns to the
previously set position.
This feature can be set inoperative. Ask
your Toyota dealer.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the steering column
while the vehicle is moving. Doing so
