WARNING
Never adjust the steering wheel while driving. You may lose steering control and cause severe personal injury, death or accidents.
Information
After adjustment, sometimes the lockrelease lever may not lock the steering wheel.
It is not a malfunction. This occurs when two gears are not engaged correctly. In this case, adjust the steering wheel again and then lock the steering wheel.

Pull down the lock-release lever (1) on the steering wheel column and adjust the steering wheel angle (2) and position (3). Move the steering wheel, so it points toward your chest, not toward your face.
Make sure you can see the instrument panel warning lights and gauges.
After adjusting, pull up the lockrelease lever (1) to lock the steering wheel in place. Push the steering wheel both up and down to be certain it is locked in position. Always adjust the position of the steering wheel before driving.
