Your vehicle may have a tilt wheel which allows you to adjust the steering wheel before you drive. You can raise it to the highest level to give your legs more room when you exit and enter the vehicle.
The lever that allows you to tilt the steering wheel is located on the left side of the steering column.
To tilt the wheel, hold the wheel and pull the lever. Then, move the wheel to a comfortable position and release the lever to lock the wheel in place.
