Steering Controls
Warning: Make sure that the steering column is locked before driving the vehicle. Never tilt or telescope the steering wheel while driving the vehicle. Doing so could cause loss of vehicle control, personal injury, and property damage.
When there is no load on the vehicle and the front tires are pointed straight ahead, the steering wheel spokes should be at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions, or within 10 degrees to either side as shown in Fig.. See of the S2 Chassis Workshop Manual for steering adjustment procedures.

On some vehicles, the steering column may be tilted forward or aft to provide the most comfortable angle for steering the vehicle. The steering column can also be telescoped (raised or lowered) to provide the most comfortable height above the floor.
To tilt the steering column, press down on the foot pedal located below the steering wheel to release the steering column lock. Adjust the column to the desired position. Release the foot pedal to lock the steering column in place. See Fig..
Note: Push the foot pedal down to adjust the steering column.
