Adjusting Telescoping Steering
Column
Turn key to steering lock position 1
or 2 (with the driver’s or front passen­
ger’s door opened, the telescoping
steering column can be operated with
the key removed or in steering lock
position 0).
To lengthen or shorten the steering
column, actuate the switch (1).
Note:
The steering wheel position is stored
in memory with the seat and head res­
traint position.
Arm Rest (Front Seats)
The arm rest engages in 3 positions.
Position 1 = arm rest folded up.
Position 2 = for normally inclined
seat back.
Position 3 = for extremely inclined
seat back.
For downward adjustment of the arm
rest, depress release button (4).
Note:
To move the arm rest between posi­
tions 1 and 2 it may be necessary to
overcome a slight resistance.
Warning!
The arm rest does not suffice as a
child restraint system. In case of a
frontal collision a child can be cata­
pulted forward over the locked arm
rest. Infants and small children
should be seated in a properly
secured restraint system that com­
plies with Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard 213.
Arm Rest (Rear Bench Seat)
When pulling out the arm rest by its
strap, the seat belt buckles for the
outboard seats swing out automati­
cally.
For the removal of the rear seat cush­
ion see “ Practical Hints” , page 87.
