OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

STEERING COLUMN AND CONTROLS

The steering column has controls for tilt/telescope, turn signal, wipers,

engine brake and optional transmission controls.

1. Tilt/Telescoping Lever
2. Turn Signal/Wiper/Lights
3. Engine Brake (optional

Transmission Shifter)

The turn signal lever is mounted on the left side of the steering column.

The lever controls several functions; turn signal, high beam and windscreen

wiper control.
The ignition key must be turned to ON for the signal/switch to operate.

TILT/TELESCOPING STEERING COLUMN

Your truck is fitted with an adjustable Tilt/Telescoping steering column.

• the tilt feature allows forward and rearward movement of the wheel
• the telescoping feature allows you to adjust the height by moving

the wheel up and down

To activate these features, locate the Tilt/Telescoping lever.

Make all adjustments to the steering mechanism while the vehicle
is stopped. Adjusting the Tilt/Telescoping Steering Wheel while the

vehicle is in motion could cause loss of control. You wouldn’t be

able to steer properly and could have an accident resulting in death
or personal injury.
