Embodiment Construction

[0026] exist figure 1 The figure shows a side view of a steering column arrangement of a motor vehicle with a steering column 10 and a steering wheel 11 arranged on the steering column. The vehicle can be steered electrically. This "drive-by-wire" steering system offers several advantages over conventional steering systems. However, "by-wire" steering systems still couple the steering wheel 11 with the steered axle or the steered wheels purely mechanically or hydraulically for safety reasons.

[0027] One advantage of "by-wire" steering systems over conventional steering systems lies primarily in the weight savings, since the steering control lever itself can be dispensed with as much as possible. Furthermore, with a "drive-by-wire" steering system, navigating the vehicle can also be carried out much more simply, since the entire steering lever does not have to be actuated in this case. The motors provided for this purpose for steering the wheels can be arranged in the regi...

Abstract

A motor vehicle includes an instrument panel, a steering column defining a longitudinal axis, and a steering wheel arranged on the steering column in a region of the instrument panel. The steering wheel is configured for movement in relation to the instrument panel in a direction of the longitudinal axis towards the instrument panel from a first position to a second position. The steering column is also constructed to enable the steering wheel to move from the second position to the first position when the motor vehicle is subjected to a force caused by an accident.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a motor vehicle with a steering wheel according to the preamble of independent claim 1 . Background technique [0002] Motor vehicles are increasingly equipped with "drive-by-wire" steering systems in which the steering wheel or column is mechanically or hydraulically decoupled from the wheels of the vehicle. Using "by-wire" technology not only saves weight by saving different components of the steering of the vehicle, but also enables the provision of so-called autopilots. The automatic navigation device enables the guided driving of the vehicle so that the driver of the vehicle no longer has to actively steer the vehicle. During guided driving, the driver of the vehicle can thus engage in other tasks that allow the driver to relax and drive undisturbed. [0003] Vehicles are known from the prior art in which the steering wheel can be lowered into a retracted position in the instrument panel or instrument panel during naviga...
