Default Steering Wheel ?

Hi All ! I'm new to the forum, and to C4 cars. Is there any way to telescope the steering wheel out for a more comfortable position ? I haven't invested in a shop manual yet.
thanks.

Telescoping tilt was a popular option. do you have the little lever on top of the steering wheel housing . If not I'm guessing you would need to swap out the standard steering column for the tilt/telescope version.

I have the tilt wheel, but no way to telescope. My problem is long legs and short arms. I'd like a little more knee room.

I have a spare (fully functional) telescoping tilt column if you want it - 150 bucks including the steering wheel (in good shape). Came off an 86 - - includes key set!
