Steering wheel
WARNING
• Do not adjust the steering wheel
while driving. You could lose control of your vehicle and cause an accident.
• Do not adjust the steering wheel any closer to you than is necessary for proper steering operation and com- fort. The driver's air bag inflates with great force. If you are unrestrained, leaning forward, sitting sideways or out of position in any way, you are at greater risk of injury or death in a crash. You may also receive serious or fatal injuries from the air bag if you are up against it when it inflates. Al- ways sit back against the seatback and as far away as practical from the steering wheel. Always use the seat belts.
MANUAL OPERATION (if so equipped) Tilt and telescopic operation Push the lock lever O1 down: • Adjust the steering wheel up or down in direction O2 to the desired position. • Adjust the steering wheel forward or backward in direction O3 to the desired position.
Pull the lock lever O1 up firmly to lock the steering wheel in place.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION (if so equipped) Tilt and telescopic operation To adjust the steering wheel move the switch O1 in the following directions: • Adjust the steering wheel up or down in direction O2 to the desired tilt position. • Adjust the steering wheel forward or backward in direction O3 to the desired telescopic position.
CAUTION For vehicles with memory seat: Failure to reset the tilt and telescoping func- tions of the steering wheel, after the vehicle’s battery has been discharged, may prevent the steering wheel posi- tion from being adjusted.
For vehicles with memory seat: Both the tilt and telescopic steering operation must be reset after the vehicle’s battery has been discharged in order to prevent the tilt and telescopic operation from locking in one position. When the battery has been re- charged or replaced, perform the following: • For tilt operation: Adjust the switch O1 so the steering wheel moves to the highest position O2 that can be reached.
• For telescopic operation: Adjust the switch O1 so the steering wheel moves to the most forward and backward position O3 that can be reached.
Performing these operations resets the range of the steering wheel’s tilt and tele- scopic function.
Entry/Exit function (if so equipped) The memory seat will make the steering wheel move up automatically when the driver's door is opened and the ignition switch is in the LOCK position. This lets the driver get into and out of the seat more easily. The steering wheel moves back into position when the driver's door is closed and the ignition switch is pushed. For additional information, see “Memory seat” (P. 3-39).
