Steering column and adjustment procedure for a steering column

摘要

The steering column (1) has moving devices (3) that are triggered by an accident to move at least the steering wheel end (2) away from the driver. The moving devices contain load suspension devices (7) for damping a movement of at least the steering wheel end away from the driver. Preferably, passenger parameters determined by a control unit (5) and detection devices (6) are used to trigger one of two operating modes for the movement devices. An Independent claim is included for a method for moving a vehicle steering column away from a driver in the case of an accident.
