In a steering wheel arrangement for motor vehicles, in which a steering column (5) provided with a steering wheel (4) is pivotally supported in a holder (6) in the vehicle, the steering wheel (4) together with a first section (7) of the steering column can be moved closer to the driver of the vehicle in the event of a collision. This is achieved by means of a drive device comprising a working chamber (13) intended to act upon the first section (7) of the steering column, to which chamber a gas generator (21) is connected, which is designed to be activated in the event of a collision in order to deliver propellant gas to the working chamber (13), thereby moving the steering wheel and steering column. During the movement the steering wheel may also be lowered. The gas generator (21) may also deliver gas to an airbag (20) fitted in the steering wheel (4).
