ABSTRACT:
A tilt steering wheel assembly has a steering column that may be pivoted to a variety of tilt positions for adjusting the steering wheel to the comfort of an operator of a motor vehicle. The range of adjusted positions is limited between comfortable driving positions. A latch lever is provided for releasing the steering wheel from one of the adjusted positions so that it may be tilted to another of the adjusted positions. The lever is limited in its rotatable travel to limit the range of adjustable positions, but may be released from this limitation so that the steering column and steering wheel may be tilted to an extreme position for servicing components connected to the steering column.
