7.3.2 Description and operation

7.3.2.1 Operations and Description

Warning!

See warnings regarding additional protection system in warning and precaution .

Notes:

See Important precaution regarding steering wheel in limit steering position in warning and precaution .

Notes:

Before disconnecting the mechanical steering column assembly, the upper intermediate shaft assembly and the
lower intermediate shaft assembly, the wheel should be maintained in the forward direction, and the mechanical
steering column assembly must be in the LOCK (lock) position.

After disconnecting the above part, do not move the front wheel tire and the wheel; otherwise, it will cause that
certain parts are wrongly positioned in the process of installation and the airbag spiral coil in the mechanical
steering column assembly deviates from the center to damage the airbag spiral coil.

Notes:

The steering column plays the role in either steering or safety protection. To ensure the energy absorption function
of the steering column, be sure to use the specified screw, bolt and nut and tighten to the specified torque.

The energy absorption pipe column is collapsed in the face of a front-end collision, thereby reducing the change
of injury to the driver.

The ignition switch comprising a steering wheel lock is installed on the mechanical steering column assembly to
lock the steering plate, thereby preventing the vehicle from being stolen. After taking out an ignition key from an
ignition switch, rotate the steering wheel left and right, popup the steering wheel lock pin in the ignition switch to
lock the steering wheel. Release the lock handle to incline the steering wheel up and down. Therefore, the driver
can regulate the steering wheel to a comfortable position. When the driver gets off, the ignition key reminding
device enables the reminder in the instrument to beeps to remind the driver if the key is still in the ignition switch.
Refer to remote control anti-theft system.

Notes:

Apply a layer of thin lithium-based lubricating grease on all friction points when reassembling. In this way, it is
very easy to disassemble and assemble the mechanical steering column assembly.
