Steering column
The steering column is mechanically height and length adjusted. For optimum adaptation to the needs of
the driver, the height can be adjusted by 40 mm and the length by 50 mm. Moving the adjustment lever,
releases and locks the plate clamp for height and reach adjustment of the steering column.

As part of occupant protection, the steering column and universal joint shaft are designed to slide inside
each other. This means the steering column and steering wheel cannot be pushed towards the driver
when the front section of the car is deformed in a collision.
The steering column is connected to the dash
panel module carrier with a mounting made
from diecast aluminium. The mounting is screwed
to the steering column console.
