to the subject
Adjust the steering wheel only when the vehicle is not moving.
- Push down on the lever ⇒ Fig. 48① .
- Adjust the steering wheel so that it can be held with hands at 9 o'clock
and 3 o'clock positions on the outside of the steering wheel rim and with the
arms slightly bent at the elbow.
- Pull the lever up firmly until it is flush with the steering column ⇒ .
Warning
Improper use of the steering column adjustment feature can result in serious personal
injury and even death.
- Always pull the lever ⇒ Fig. 48① firmly upward after adjusting the steering
column so that the steering wheel does not change position suddenly while the
vehicle is moving.
- Never adjust the steering column while the vehicle is moving. If you find
that you need to adjust the steering wheel while driving, stop the vehicle in
a safe place and make the proper adjustment.
- Never adjust the steering wheel so that it points toward your face. Always
make sure that the steering wheel points toward your chest. Otherwise, the airbag
system cannot protect you properly in the event of a crash.
- Always hold the steering wheel on the outside of the steering wheel rim
with your hands at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions to help reduce the
risk of serious personal injury if the driver airbag inflates.
- Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position or with your hands
anywhere inside the steering wheel or on the steering wheel hub. Holding the
steering wheel the wrong way increases the risk of severe injury to the arms,
hands, and head if the driver airbag deploys.
