INSTALLATION
NORMAL





1. Install the universal joint to the column shaft.

NOTE: Make sure that the joint is installed in the correct direction as illustrated. To secure, be sure that the bolt is installed correctly to the gear box pinion groove and the end of the bolt protrudes on the opposite side of the universal joint yoke.

2. Align the universal joint to the pinion together with the column shaft and tighten temporarily.
3. Mount the steering column shaft to the mounting frame.

CAUTION: When installing, be careful not to distort the steering column.

4. Tighten the bolt coupling to the universal joint with gear box pinion.
5. Install the multifunction switch and connect the connectors.
6. Install the column shroud.
7. Install the lower crash pad.





8. Install the steering wheel.

NOTE: When the steering wheel is installed, make sure that the alignment marks are aligned and that the steering wheel is in a straight ahead position.

TILT STEERING
1. Install the universal joint to the gear box.

NOTE: In case of the tilt steering column, please observe the following;
Failure to observe these instructions could cause deformation of the tilt bracket, which may result in heavy tilt lever operation and inoperative pop-up.
2. Before installation, ensure a pin hole exists on the distance bracket.





1) If it does, lock the tilt in a neutral position and install a pin stopper in the hole. Then, unlock the tilt lever.





2) If not, lock the tilt around a neutral position.





3. Install the bolt that couples to the column shaft with the U-joint.
Specified torque 15 - 20 Nm (150 - 200 kg-cm, 11 - 15 ft. lbs.)





4. Install two mounting bolts temporarily.
5. Install two mounting nuts.
Specified torque 13 - 18 Nm (130 - 180 kg-cm, 10 - 13 ft. lbs.)
