The tilt and telescopic steering wheel allows you to adjust the steering wheel position before driving. You can also raise it to provide more legroom when exiting and entering 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 and cause serious injury, death, or an accident.
  • After adjusting, push the steering wheel up and down to make sure it is locked in position.
Kia Soul. Tilt & telescopic steering

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

NOTICE

After adjustment, the release lever may sometimes not lock the steering column.

This is not a malfunction. It occurs when two gears are engaged. In this case, adjust the steering wheel again, then lock the steering wheel.
