CAUTION: When servicing the steering column, the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System clock spring must be centered for proper steering wheel operation. Failure to properly center the SIR clock spring may result in reduced turnability of the steering wheel causing the vehicle to improperly maneuver and may cause the SIR system to be inoperative. NOTE: Do not rotate the steering wheel or move the position of the steering gear once the intermediate shaft is disconnected. This will uncenter the Inflatable Restraint coil in the steering column. If the Inflatable Restraint coil becomes uncentered, it may be damaged during vehicle operation. Turn the front wheels straight ahead. Tur the lobe of the clock spring clockwise to lock. Do not force. Turn the lobe of the clock spring counterclockwise approximately 3 turns to the neutral2005 Chevrolet Aveo 2005 STEERING Steering Wheel & Column - Aveo position, with the front of the wheels straight ahead. 4, Properly align the pointed marks on the components of the clock spring. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION CAUTION: Refer to Safety Glasses Caution in Cautions and Notices. CAUTION: In order to ensure the intended function of the steering column in a vehicle during a crash and in order to avoid personal injury to the driver, perform the following: « Tighten the steering column lower fasteners before you tighten the steering column upper fasteners. Failure to do this can damage the steering column. « Tighten the steering column fasteners to the specified torque. Overtightening the upper steering column fasteners could affect the steering column collapse. NOTE: Refer to Steering Wheel Straight and Column Locked Notice in Cautions and Notices. NOTE: Refer to Steering Column in Lock Position Notice in Cautions and Notices. In addition to the steering function, the steering column provides safety and security The energy-absorbing column is designed to compress in a front-end collision to lessen the chance of driver injury The ignition switch and the lock are mounted on the column, allowing the ignition and steering operations to be locked to prevent theft of the car. The column levers trigger the turn signals, the headlight beams, and the windshield washer and wipers. IMPORTANT: Apply a thin coat of lithium grease to all friction points when reassembling to ensure proper operation. A tilt steering column uses a spherical joint to allow the steering wheel to tilt up and down. This enables the driver to adjust the steering wheel to a comfortable driving position.2005 Chevrolet Aveo 2005 STEERING Steering Wheel & Column - Aveo The column may be easily disassembled and assembled.
