Summary:A steering column adjustment device that uses a positive locking system comprising in part of teethed locking cleats and teethed sawtooth locking plates. The steering column positive lock mechanism uses a lever to rotate a cross shaft which activates two cam-actuated locks. Once in the unlocked position, the telescopic and tilt adjustment of the steering column can occur at the same time. Once the vehicle driver has achieved the desired tilt and telescopic position for the steering wheel and the steering column, the driver uses the lever to reactivate positive locking system.
