Fixed and Tilt Columns

Fixed steering columns do not allow the steering wheel angle to be adjusted.

Tilt steering columns are fitted with a tilt mechanism that allows the steering wheel angle to be adjusted to suit the driver.
- A tilt wheel handle and shank is located underneath the steering column on vehicles so equipped.
- When the tilt wheel handle and shank is pulled toward the driver, the steering wheel can be adjusted to one of five angles to suit the driver.
- When the tilt wheel handle and shank is released, the steering wheel is locked into position.
