Tilt and telescopic steering

(if equipped)
Tilt steering allows you to adjust the
steering wheel before you drive. You
can also raise it to give your legs
more room when you exit and enter
the vehicle.
The steering wheel should be posi-
tioned so that it is comfortable for
you to drive, while permitting you to
see the instrument panel warning
lights and gauges.

To change the steering wheel angle,

the steering wheel in place. Be sure
to adjust the steering wheel to the
desired position before driving.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
After adjustment, sometimes the
lock release lever may not lock the
steering wheel. It is not a malfunc-
tion.
This occurs when two gears are not
engaged correctly. In this case,
adjust the steering wheel again and
then lock the steering wheel.
