System Description [08/2012 - ]
- MAIN COMPONENTS
- Multiplex tilt & telescopic ECU
This ECU sends a control signal to the power tilt motor and the power telescopic motor, based on signals from each switch, to adjust the steering position.
- Power tilt motor (with tilt position sensor)
This motor is activated by a signal from the multiplex tilt & telescopic ECU and adjusts the tilt position.
The tilt position sensor in the motor detects the tilt position by counting the number of pulses as the motor rotates.
- Power telescopic motor (with telescopic position sensor)
This motor is activated by a signal from the multiplex tilt & telescopic ECU and adjusts the telescopic position. The telescopic position sensor in the motor detects the telescopic position by counting the number of pulses as the motor rotates.

- MANUAL OPERATION
- The tilt and telescopic positions can be adjusted as desired by operating the tilt and telescopic switch.
- AUTO AWAY/RETURN FUNCTION
- When the engine switch is turned off, the steering column moves forward, away from the driver, and also tilts up for easy exit and entry.
- When the engine switch is turned on (IG), the steering column returns to the previously set position.
- The auto away/return function can be prohibited by using the Techstream.
- DRIVING POSITION MEMORY FUNCTION (with Seat Position Memory)
