An extendable steering column includes a first jacket, a second jacket, an energy absorption strap, an indexing feature and a spring. The first jacket extends along an axis and the second jacket is disposed radially inward from the first jacket with the first and second jackets being in telescopic relationship to one-another. The locking shoe is in radial contact with the second jacket. The strap is fixed to the second jacket and disposed radially between the first and second jackets. The indexing feature facilitates a locked state and an unlocked state, and is carried between and defined by the strap and the locking shoe for telescopic adjustment of the steering column. The spring is disposed radially between the shoe and strap, and is constructed and arranged to bias the locking shoe radially away from the strap and toward the unlocked state.
