Kia Soul: Steering wheel / Tilt & telescopic steering
A tilt and telescopic steering wheel allows you to adjust the steering wheel
before you drive. You can also raise it to give your legs more room when you exit
and enter the vehicle.
The steering wheel should be positioned so that it is comfortable for you to
drive, while permitting you to see the instrument panel warning lights and gauges.
WARNING
- Never adjust the angle of the steering wheel while driving. You may
lose steering control and cause severe personal injury, death or accidents.
- After adjusting, push the steering wheel both up and down to be certain
it is locked in position.
To change the steering wheel angle, pull down the lock release lever (1), adjust
the steering wheel to the desired angle (2) and height (3), then pull up the lock-release
lever to lock the steering wheel in place. Be sure to adjust the steering wheel
to the desired position before driving.
NOTICE
After adjustment, sometimes the lock-release lever may not lock the steering
wheel.
It is not a malfunction. This occurs when two gears engage. In this case,
adjust the steering wheel again and then lock the steering wheel.
