Kia Rio: Steering wheel / Tilt and telescopic steering
Tilt steering allows you to adjust the steering wheel before you drive. You can
also raise it to give your legs more room when you exit and enter the vehicle.
The steering wheel should be positioned so that it is comfortable for you to
drive, while permitting you to see the instrument panel warning lights and gauges.

Never adjust the angle and height of the steering wheel while driving. You
may lose steering control
To change the steering wheel angle, pull down the lock release lever (1), adjust
the steering wheel to the desired angle (2) and height (3), then pull up the lock-release
lever to lock (4) the steering wheel in place. Be sure to adjust the steering wheel
to the desired position before driving.
✽ NOTICE
After adjustment, sometimes the lock release lever may not lock the steering
