Tilt/Telescopic Steering
When adjusting the steering wheel to a 
comfortable position, adjust the steering 
wheel so that it points toward your chest, 
not toward your face. Make sure you can 
see the instrument cluster warning lights 
and gauges. After adjusting, push the 
steering wheel both up and down to be 
certain it is locked in position.
Always adjust the position of the steering 
wheel before driving.
 WARNING
NEVER adjust the steering wheel while 
driving. This may cause loss of vehicle 
control resulting in an accident.
NOTICE
While adjusting the steering wheel 
height, please do not push or pull it 
hard since the fixture can be damaged.
