Scheme 111: Tilt Mechanism
  1. The steering wheel vertical position can easily be adjusted within 32 mm (1.26 in) range, by using the tilt lever to release the steering column and locking it at the desired position. (Scheme 111): Identifying Tilt Steering Column

Scheme 112: Energy-Absorbing Mechanism
  1. To absorb the engine backward energy in the event of a collision, an elliptical fit type column pipe has been adopted. The energy is absorbed by collapse of the elliptical fit portions as their surfaces come in contact with each other and receive the bend load.
  2. To absorb the energy of shock on the drive in the event of a collision, an expand plate has been adopted between the tilt bracket to be secured to the steering support beam and the column. The expand plate is deformed as it is expanded, and continues to stably absorb the energy. (Scheme 112): Identifying Energy-Absorbing Mechanism
