The steering column assembly includes an impact absorbing steering wheel, upper and lower column shafts and flexible coupling. All models are available with the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). An airbag and an Emergency Tensioning Retractor (ETR) system increases the safety of the occupants.

A corrugated tube, and a modified steering box is used in the 190 Series. The steering shaft is connected by a coupling to the steering box, which allows easier removal and installation of the steering box.
