Deployable Steering Column Module
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Lincoln MKX and 2014 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The deployable steering column includes a device that, once deployed, reduces the amount of force necessary to collapse the steering column during a crash event. The deployable device is activated by the RCM , depending on the driver seat position and the force of the crash. After deployment, a new steering column must be installed. For additional information, refer to STEERING COLUMN .
