STEERING WHEEL
Tilt/Telescoping Steering Column

you to lengthen or shorten the steering column. The tilt/telescoping lever is located be-
low the steering wheel at the end of the steering column.
To unlock the steering column, push the
tilt/telescoping lever downward (toward the
floor). To til t the steering column, move the
steering wheel upward or downward as
desired. To lengthen or shorten the steer-
ing column, pull the steering wheel outward
or push it inward as desired.
To lock the steering column in position, pull
the tilt/telescoping lever upward until fully
engaged.
WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering column while driving. Adjusting the steering column while
driving or driving with the steering column unlocked, could cause the driver to lose
control of the vehicle. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious injury or
death.
Heated Steering Wheel If Equipped
The steering wheel contains a heating element that helps warm your hands in cold
weather. The heated steering wheel has only one temperature setting. Once the heated
steering wheel switch
has been turned on, it will operate for an average of 80 min-
utes or more before automatically shutting off. This time may vary depending on the en-
vironmental temperature. The heated steering wheel can shut off early or may not turn
on when the steering wheel is already warm. The heated steering wheel control button is
located on the center of the instrument panel below the climate controls.
