STEERING WHEEL
Tilt/Telescoping Steering Column
This feature allows you to tilt the steering
column upward or downward. It also allows
you to lengthen or shorten the steering col-
umn. The tilt/telescoping lever is located
below 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 tilt the steering column, move the
steering wheel upward or downward as de-
sired. To lengthen or shorten the steering
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 ele-
ment 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 stay on for an average of 80 min-
utes or more before automatically shutting
off. This time will vary based on environmen-
tal temperatures. 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
radio screen.
Auto Comfort Systems — If Equipped
In vehicles equipped with Auto On Comfort,
when turning on the vehicle the heated steer-
ing wheel will automatically turn on when
temperatures are below 40° F (4.4° C).
WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to
the skin because of advanced age,
chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord in-
jury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus-
tion, or other physical conditions must
exercise care when using the steering
wheel heater. It may cause burns even at
low temperatures, especially if used for
long periods.
