    		Telescopic steering is a device used in GM cars specifically. Cadillac is the primary employer of such a device.

    Between the wheel and the dash on the steering column is found a metal tab that is the adjusting collar. This collar is attached to a threaded insert that when loosened screws out away from a metal rod that actuates the locking device. It is a fairly simple device. It is never found without the tilt steering option.

    The reason for such a device is to allow for variance of comfort for any given driver. Cadillacs are all about the "Cruising Comfort" aspect.
