A steering column assembly ( 10 ) for a vehicle includes first and second members ( 12, 14 ) engaged for movement relative to one another along one of a tilting path ( 16 ) and a telescoping path. The steering column assembly ( 10 ) also includes an electric lock ( 18 ) operable to lock the first and second members ( 12, 14 ) into a locked configuration that restricts movement and an unlocked configuration that permits movement between the members. The steering column assembly ( 10 ) also includes a sensor ( 20 ) operable to sense a vehicle crash condition and then emit a crash signal to a controller ( 22 ) that controls the electric lock ( 18 ) to change from the locked configuration to the unlocked configuration in response to the signal.
