This feature allows you to tilt the steering 

column upward or downward. It also allows you 

to lengthen or shorten the steering column. The

steering wheel at the end of the steering 

column.

Tilt/Telescoping Steering Column Control

To unlock the steering column, push the control 

downward (toward the floor). To tilt the steering 

column, move the steering wheel upward or 

downward as desired. To lengthen or shorten 

the steering column, pull the steering wheel 

outward or push it inward as desired. To lock 

the steering column in position, push the 

control upward until fully engaged.

CAUTION!

Hinge pins can break if overtightened 

during door reinstall (Max Torque: 5.88 ft·lb 

/ 8 N·m). For information on off-road driving 

tips, see

page 225.

Do not overtighten Torx fasteners. Damage 

to the vehicle’s parts will occur.

WARNING!

Do not adjust the steering column while 

driving. Adjusting the steering column while 

driving or driving with the steering column 

unlocked, could cause the driver to lose 

control of the vehicle. Failure to follow this 

warning may result in serious injury or death.
