Steering Column Components
The 4 steering column stalks and the steering column module (SZL) are a single unit.
The steering column stalks of the SZL are:
- Turn signal and high beam switch.
- Transmission selector lever.
- Wiper switch.
- Cruise control lever.
On the E65, a new design of steering column stalk has been introduced.
What is new is that the steering column stalks are now essentially buttons (momentary switches).
That means that they no longer engage in fixed positions for their various functions.
In order to operate the direction indicators, for example, the stalk is pushed beyond a point of resistance (detent). When released, it returns to its center position.
