Zusammenfassung:It is common for vehicles to include a steering column that permits the adjustment of the height of a steering wheel and also allows the steering wheel to be tilted toward or away from a driver of a vehicle. Thus, these conventional steering columns telescope or otherwise allow elevation adjustment of the steering wheel and also typically pivot (or have a pivot section which pivots) to permit tilting of the steering wheel. Release mechanisms are typically incorporated in these devices which are then actuated to respectively permit height and tilt adjustment of the steering wheel. A vehicle shifter and method in one form involves tilting a shift lever relative to a steering wheel as the steering wheel is tilted and also raising and lowering the shift lever respectively as the steering wheel is raised and lowered.
