In the driver's compartment of a motor vehicle, a dash console containing instruments and controls is hinged along a bottom edge to dash structure of the compartment. A steering wheel column is pivotally mounted by a pivot joint to the floor of the compartment and is clamped by an openable clamp to the dash structure into an upright operating position. When the clamp is opened, the steering column may be swung downwardly about the pivot point until the steering wheel rests upon a driver's seat. Then the dash console may be swung from its normally upright operating position downwardly to an access-providing position against the reclining steering column thereby enabling maintenance personnel convenient access to the backside of the dash console.
