ADJUSTING THE STEERING WHEEL
Note:
Make sure that you are sitting in the
correct position. See Sitting in the Correct
Position (page 133). WARNING
Do not adjust the steering wheel when
your vehicle is moving. Use the control on the side of the steering
column to adjust the position.
To adjust:
•
Tilt: Press the top or bottom of the
control.
• Telescope: Press the front or rear of the
control.
End of Travel Position
The steering column sets a stopping position
just short of the end of the column position
to prevent damage to the steering column.
A new stopping position sets if the steering
column encounters an object when tilting or
telescoping.
To reset the steering column to its normal
stopping position:
1. Confirm there is nothing obstructing the motion of the steering column.
2. Press and hold the steering column control until the steering column stops
moving.
3. Press the steering column control again.
The steering column may begin to move
again. 4. When the steering column stops,
continue holding the control for an
additional few seconds.
5. Repeat for each direction as necessary.
A new stopping position is set. The next time
you tilt or telescope the steering column, it
will stop just short of the end of the column
position.
Memory Feature
You can save and recall the steering column
position with the memory function.
See
Memory Function (page 138).
Note: Pressing the adjustment control during
memory recall cancels the operation.
Easy Entry and Exit Feature
When you switch the ignition off, the steering
column will move to allow extra room to exit
your vehicle. The column will return to the
previous setting when you switch the ignition
on. You can enable or disable this feature in
the information display.
