Adjusting Steering Wheel - SVO/ FOX BODY MUSTANGS

childplay · May 31st, 2008, 01:11 PM

Hey guys,

Just got my SVO back from the shop. I noticed it is uncomfortable to sit in due to my mechanic changing the seating settings around. So I adjust the seat so I can reach the pedals like normal. Still, I'm too far away to hit the floor with the clutch (steering wheel is in the way). There is a black knob to the right of my steering wheel so I adjust it's tilt and so it doesn't hit my legs anymore, then I can scoot in.

Still, something is wrong, Doesn't feel right. Any other adjustments I can make? I've only owned the car for a few months, not very familiar with all the controls. Have learned a few things by chance or luck. Doesn't look like my whole wheel itself is centered either, it leans a bit more to the right. I'd like to adjust everything so I can drive comfortably.

Anyone know where/what these controls are for adjustment of the wheel?

Also, on the side now, anyone know how to turn the map light on?

Thanks!!!

the knob is the only adjustment you can make, the map light there should be a switch on it

there is no switch for it, it is designed so that when you release the catch that holds it up and pull the light down it will turn on. Kind of like a fridge light LOL
