STEERING COLUMN SYSTEM


  1. OUTLINE


    1. A power tilt and telescopic system, which allows the driver to set the steering column to the desired position, is used. The telescopic stroke has been extended, achieving a wide range of driving positions.

    2. The automatic control (auto away and auto return) and memory control are used to ensure superior operability and accessibility.

      Tech Tips

      The telescopic system is set to not activate by default. The activation setting (activate/not activate) can be changed using the customization function. Refer to the Repair Manual for the details of customization.

    3. An energy absorbing mechanism is used for the steering column assembly, and a retraction mechanism is used for the No. 2 steering intermediate shaft assembly*1 and steering actuator assembly*2 in consideration of the driver's safety during a collision.
