PROCEDURE

1. PRECAUTION

Click here 2019 - 2022 MY Avalon Avalon HV [04/2018 -        ]; STEERING COLUMN: STEERING SYSTEM: PRECAUTION

2. CHANGE POWER TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC STEERING COLUMN SYSTEM SETTINGS

(a) Disable the auto tilt away function by changing the customize settings.

for Gasoline Model: Click here 2019 - 2022 MY Avalon [04/2018 -        ]; STEERING COLUMN: POWER TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC STEERING COLUMN SYSTEM (for Gasoline Model): CUSTOMIZE PARAMETERS

for HV Model: Click here 2019 - 2022 MY Avalon HV [04/2018 -        ]; STEERING COLUMN: POWER TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC STEERING COLUMN SYSTEM(for HV Model): CUSTOMIZE PARAMETERS

NOTICE:

Record the current customize setting (whether the auto tilt away function is enabled or disabled) in order to restore the current setting after finishing the operation.

HINT:

Performing the above operation causes the auto tilt away function to be disabled when the engine switch (for Gasoline Model) or power switch (for HV Model) is turned off.

(b) Turn the engine switch (for Gasoline Model) or power switch (for HV Model) on (IG). Operate the tilt and telescopic switch to fully extend and lower the steering column assembly.
