Telescopic Operation
Pull the lock lever 1 down and adjust the steering wheel forward or rearward 3 to the desired position.
Push the lever firmly up 1 to lock the steering wheel in position.
WARNING
Do not adjust the steering wheel too close to your body, as this may affect steering operation and your comfort. The driver's airbag deploys with great force. If you are not properly restrained, are leaning forward, turned sideways, or seated in any other improper position, the risk of serious or fatal injury in an accident increases.
The airbag may also cause serious or fatal injury if you are leaning against the module when it deploys.
Make sure your back is firmly against the seatback and sit as far from the steering wheel as possible without affecting your comfort.
Always wear your seat belt.
