Operation

TILT & TELESCOPIC STEERING COLUMN WITH MEMORY FUNCTION
1. The tilt position is determined by engagement of the movable gear and stationary gear. The tilt position can be adjusted up and down in 3 steps each way from the neutral position. Each step changes the column tilt angle 1.925 degrees [or 34/3mm (1.34/3 inch). Also, when swung up, the steering column can be tilted up an additional 21 mm (0.83 inch) from the top position.
2. The previous column position is memorized via the memory gear when the steering column is tilted upwards.
3. The gears are engaged directly below the steering column to increase rigidity.
4. The tilt-up lever tilts the steering column all the way up, and the tilt-select lever tilts it to an optimum driving position.

TELESCOPIC FUNCTION
1. The telescopic lever adjusts the driving position forward and backward in a 37 mm (1.46 inch) range for the optimum driving posture.
2. The high-precision splines are used to provide smooth telescopic steering wheel operation.

ENERGY ABSORBING MECHANISM OF CURLING PLATE
1. Effective impact-absorbing performance is assured.
2. The plate comes in a detachable capsule set.





RUBBER COUPLING
A rubber coupling is used between the two universal joints in the engine compartment to reduce flutter, kickbacks and the noise from the steering gearbox.
