STEERING SYSTEM
TI L T AND POP-UP CONSTRUCTION
The steering column is designed so that it can be either raised
or lowered. The pivot point is at the flexible supporting
portion to the body, at the lower end of the steering column.
This permits the steering wheel to be adjusted 32 mm (1.26 in)
upwards and 20 mm (0.79 in) downwards. By operating the
tilt lever, the tilt bracket on the steering column is loosened
or tightened allowing the steering wheel to be adjusted or
secured.
Further, when the knob on the instrument panel is pulled,
the lock pin connected to the knob with a cable is pulled out
of the fit hole in the column inner bracket and the balance
spring built into the column forces the steering wheel to pop
up 64 mm (2.52 in) above the standard position. And then
steering column locks at original position when steering wheel
is pulled down.
