The steering column should be adjusted so that the steering wheel is located in front of the driver's chest at a distance of at least. The position in which the steering wheel is in front of the driver's face is incorrect, since it reduces the protective functions of the driver's front airbag. The driver's arms should be slightly bent when correctly positioned on the steering wheel.
Caution: Do not adjust the steering column while driving, as this may cause loss of control of the vehicle. Do not hold the steering wheel by the top point or by the spokes, as this may cause injury to the hands and head if the airbag deploys.
To change the reach and angle of the steering column, first release the lock by pulling down the lock release lever (21 in illustration 12.1). Set the steering column to the desired position and return the lever to its original position. After adjustment, check the reliability of the steering column fixation by trying to move it up/down and away from/towards you.
