Tilt and Telescopic Steering

The tilt and telescopic steering allows you to adjust the steering wheel before you drive. You can also raise it to give your legs more room when getting in and out of the vehicle.

The steering wheel should be positioned so that you can comfortably operate the wheel while seeing the warning lights and gauges on the instrument panel.

WARNING

• Never adjust the steering wheel tilt while driving. You may lose control of the vehicle, resulting in serious injury, death, or an accident.
• After adjusting, push the steering wheel up and down to make sure it is locked in position.

To adjust the steering wheel tilt, pull down the release lever (1), adjust the steering wheel to the desired angle (2) and height (3, if equipped), then push up the release lever to lock the steering wheel. Be sure to adjust the steering wheel to the desired position before driving.

Heated Steering Wheel (If Equipped)

When the ignition switch is in the ON position, press the heated steering wheel button. The indicator on the button will illuminate and a message will appear on the LCD display.

To turn off the heated steering wheel, press the button again. The indicator on the button will turn off and a message will appear on the LCD display.

CAUTION

Do not install any accessories on the steering wheel. This may cause damage to the heated steering wheel system.

Horn

To sound the horn, press the horn symbols on the steering wheel. Check the horn regularly to make sure it operates properly.

✽ NOTICE

To sound the horn, press the area marked with the horn symbol on the steering wheel (see illustration). The horn will only operate when this area is pressed.

Flex Steering (If Equipped)

FLEX STEER controls steering effort depending on driver preference or road conditions.

You can select the desired steering mode by pressing the FLEX STEER button.

When the steering mode button is pressed, the selected steering mode is displayed on the LCD.

If the steering mode button is pressed and held for 4 seconds, the steering mode will change as shown above.

If the mode button on the steering wheel is not pressed for approximately 4 seconds, the LCD display will return to the previous screen.

Normal Mode

Normal mode provides medium steering effort.

Sport Mode

The steering wheel becomes heavier. Sport mode is normally used when driving on highways.

Comfort Mode

The steering wheel becomes lighter. Comfort mode is normally used when driving in the city or parking the vehicle.

CAUTION

• For your safety, if you press the steering mode button while turning the steering wheel, the LCD display will change, but the steering effort will not change immediately. After you stop turning the steering wheel, the steering effort will automatically change to the selected mode.
• Be careful when changing the steering mode while driving.
• If the electronic power steering system malfunctions, the flex steering will not operate.
