  1. CAUTION:
    • Make sure that the steering column lock actuator is not engaged and in the service position. Failure to follow this instruction will make installation of the steering system impossible and may result in damage to the vehicle.
    • Having the steering column lock actuator engaged will restrict the axial displacement of the upper steering column output shaft which is required for installation.
    • If the vehicle doors are locked or when the ignition is switched off and a time delay has elapsed the vehicle will automatically engage the steering column lock actuator blocking the upper steering column rotation. To prevent the steering column lock actuator from being engaged automatically the vehicle battery must be disconnected within 3 minutes of switching the engine off.
