摘要

The device (28) has a sensor (30) to detect the presence of a support (1) in use position of a steering wheel (2), for prohibiting the starting of a car (38). The sensor authorizes the starting of the car when the support is folded up on a structure of the steering wheel in a position, and prohibits the starting of the car when the support is deployed in another position in which the support receives a multi-media device, where the sensor is fitted on a central branch of the steering wheel.
