Telescopic Steering Wheel? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Falconeer · 04-19-2010, 10:58 AM

I was adjusting the seat to lowest position and slightly back today on my Yaris and noticed the wheel move back slightly

. Honestly, I was not expecting this on a basic car!
Is it only ignorant me or did you people know that this car has a Telescopic Steering Wheel?

No.

My ECHO had a wheel that went up and down...

It's probably yet another feature that's exclusive to foreign markets. Hey, they get everything else.

I would like one.

Mine tilts but does not extend. Would be nice to have though as I always felt the wheel was a bit of a stretch even for my long armed self.

I could not believe it either. Honestly, I was not expecting it at all and I have had it for almost two months now... Was just driving today and had a neck pain (wife?) so just wanted to change positions while driving so lowered the seat and wanted to see if tilting the wheel to a different position made a differnce.

I tilted it and felt it move in a bit. I was like NO WAY! Cause I always liked that feature and just had a feeling that there are more surprises to this car. So, here I found another one!

Just release the steering tilt lever and pull the wheel towards yourself.

Yup, we've got that feature. It's not standard though- the basic level only gets the tilt function, but next levels add the telescopic function. Just goes to show how far "basic" cars have come in some ten years.
