>>A<< Steering Column Assembly Installation
CAUTION:
- If reusing the steering column assembly, do not release the tilt lever until the steering column assembly has been installed.
- If a new steering column assembly is being installed, do not release the tilt lever until it has been installed. Do not remove the tilt lever fixing band until the installation is completed.
- When installing the steering column assembly, do not leave it fixed temporarily at only one point. Be sure the steering column assembly is not shaken strongly. If this happens, the collision absorbing mechanism at the steering column assembly mounting location may be damaged.
Ensure that the tilt lever is in the lock position, and install the steering column assembly. Tighten the four bolts finger-tight in the order shown in the illustration, and then tighten them to the specified torque in the order shown in the illustration.
Tightening torque: 12 ± 2 N.m (106 ± 17 in-lb)
