Driver Convenience
The steering wheel and column may also have driver controls attached for convenience and comfort. The
following controls may be mounted on or near the steering wheel or column.
• The turn signal switch
• The hazard switch
• The head lamp dimmer switch
• The wiper/washer switch
• The horn pad/cruise control switch
• The redundant radio/entertainment system controls
• The tilt
or
tilUtelescoping functions
• The HVAC controls
Driver Safety
The energy-absorbing steering column compresses
in
the event
of
a front-end collision, which reduces
the chance
of
injury to the driver. The mounting capsules break away from the mounting bracket
in
the
event
of
an accident. .
Tilt\Telescoping Description
The tilt - telescoping steering column uses the same tilt lever as the non-telescoping column and
functions
in
the same manner. The telescoping function
of
this column consists
of
the telescoping drive
motor, the
telescoping actuator assembly and the telescoping actuator switch. The telescoping actuator
assembly is cable driven
by
the telescoping drive motor. The telescoping actuator switch operates the
inward
or
outward movement
of
the steering wheel.
Tilt\Telescoping Operation
The telescoping steering column in/out switch is an input to the seat control module. The telescoping
drive motor
is.
an output function
ofthe
seat control module. The telescoping actuator assembly is cable
driven by the telescoping drive motor.
Steering
column memory settings are stored
in
the seat control module. The steering column position
sensor is an
internal part
of
the telescoping actuator assembly, and is an input to the seat control module.
The seat control module uses the position sensor input when storing and recalling memory settings.
Memory steering column, and the easy enter/exit operations are performed by the seat control module.
However the left door control module assumes control when memory settings are stored and recalled,
by
use
of
the serial data link. The body control module assumes control when the easy enter/exit operation
occurs, by use
of
the serial data link.
The body control module stores the RPO code configuration which signals to the seat control module
whether
or
not the telescoping steering column option is active. This RPO code configuration must be
correct, and received by the seat control module, or power seat,
and
telescoping steering column
operation will be inoperative or incorrect.
