Steering column assembly for a vehicle

摘要

A steering column assembly for a vehicle having a steering column for providing tilting movement and telescoping movement is disclosed. A first locking device is coupled to the steering column and movable between a first locked position and a first unlocked position for preventing the telescoping movement and for allowing the telescoping movement, respectively. The first locking device further defines a predetermined mid-position between the first locked position and the first unlocked position. A second locking device is coupled to the steering column and moveable between a second locked position and a second unlocked position for preventing the tilting movement and for allowing the tilting movement, respectively. A cable extends between the first locking device and the second locking device. A mechanism is coupled to the cable for delaying release of the second locking device from the steering column until the first locking device moves to the predetermined mid-position.
