4. Operação

4.1 Column Shift Operation

The column shift lever allows you to select the desired gear for your 4-speed automatic transmission. To shift, pull the lever towards you and move it up or down to engage the desired gear (e.g., Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive, Low gears). Ensure the vehicle is stationary and the brake pedal is depressed when shifting into or out of Park or Reverse.

4.2 Função de Inclinação

The tilt mechanism allows you to adjust the steering wheel angle for optimal driving comfort and easier entry/exit. To adjust, locate the tilt lever (typically on the left side of the column, below the turn signal lever). Pull the lever towards you to unlock the column, adjust the steering wheel to one of the three desired positions, and then release the lever to lock it in place.

4.3 Integrated Controls

• Sinais de direção: Operate the turn signal lever (left side of column) up for right turn, down for left turn.
• Buzina: Press the horn button located on the steering wheel.
• Luzes de emergência: Activate the hazard warning lights by pressing the dedicated hazard button on the column.

4.4 Push Button Start and RFID (If Installed)

If your column is integrated with a "One Touch Push Button Start" and RFID Hands-Free Security system, refer to the specific instructions provided with those components for detailed operation. Generally, the RFID system will detect the presence of a valid key fob, allowing the push button to initiate engine start/stop without a traditional key.

5. Manutenção

The Helix 706622 Column Shift is designed for long-term durability with minimal maintenance. Regular inspection is recommended to ensure optimal performance and safety.

• Limpeza: Clean the column's exterior with a soft, damp pano. Evite produtos de limpeza abrasivos ou solventes que possam danificar o acabamento.
• Inspeção: Periodically check all mounting bolts and fasteners for tightness. Ensure the column is securely attached and there is no excessive play.
• Lubrificação: The internal mechanisms are pre-lubricated. Avoid applying external lubricants unless specifically instructed by Helix support, as this could attract dirt and impair function.
• Fiação: Inspect wiring harnesses for any signs of wear, fraying, or loose connections. Repair or replace damaged wiring immediately.
