Tilt/Telescoping Operation
The tilt/telescoping steering column has a four-position switch which
may be used to adjust the position of the steering wheel in or out (telescope)
and up or down (tilt). Change the position of the column as follows:
| • | Press the switch up to tilt the column up. |
| • | Press the switch down to tilt the column down. |
| • | Press the switch forward and the column moves toward the front
of the vehicle. |
| • | Press the switch rearward and the column moves toward the rear
of the vehicle. |
Pressing the switch in any direction momentarily (releasing it within
0.5 seconds) causes the column to "inch" in the corresponding
direction a slight distance, then stop. This feature allows fine control
of the steering column position in each direction. If the switch is pressed
and held (for longer than 0.5 seconds), the column "inches" a
slight amount in that direction, pauses, then resumes continuous movement
as long as the switch is held.
Tilt/Telescoping Memory/Personalization
Memory settings and personalization of the steering wheel positions
are available with the tilt/telescoping steering column. The settings available
depend on whether or not the vehicle is equipped with memory switches. (Vehicles
equipped with memory have a set of four switches, MEMORY SET, EXIT, 1 and
2, located on the driver's door panel.) The data stored consists of entry
positions and exit positions. The entry position is the position the steering
column moves to when the ignition is turned ON. The exit position is the
position the steering column moves to when the ignition is turned OFF and
the driver's door is opened.
Tilt/Telescoping Column Positions -- Without Memory
On vehicles without memory, the tilt/telescoping steering column can
be set to store two positions: an exit position and an entry position. The
exit position in this case defaults to the position with the column all the
way forward and all the way up. The entry position is the last known location
of the column when the ignition was previously turned OFF. These two settings
may be enabled or disabled by using personalization setup procedures with
the driver information center (DIC). These settings are either both on or
both off.
Tilt/Telescoping Column Positions -- With Memory
On vehicles with memory, the tilt/telescoping steering column can be
set to store six possible positions: three possible entry positions and three
possible exit positions. These settings may be enabled or disabled by using
personalization setup procedures with the driver information center (DIC).
Using the DIC, it is possible to enable all three entry positions or disable
them all. Similarly, the exit positions may be all enabled or all disabled.
The positions of the tilt/telescoping steering column that may be store are
as follows:
| • | Default exit position (all forward, all up). |
| • | Driver 1 exit position, set using the memory switches. |
| • | Driver 2 exit position, set using the memory switches. |
| • | Last known driver exit position (when ignition was previously
turned OFF). |
| • | Driver 1 entry position, set using the memory switches. |
| • | Driver 2 entry position, set using the memory switches. |
