Abstract:
A safety steering mechanism for a steering column, with a steering-column comfort adjustment having linear positioning devices, and provided with safety devices designed such that, in an accident situation, at least an end area of the steering column can be moved away from a driver's position. The linear positioning devices include load absorption devices and/or withdrawal devices regarding the movement of at least the end area of the steering column away from a driver's position. An operating method for a safety steering mechanism for a steering column that can be adjusted by a comfort adjustment in accordance with the requirements and/or wishes of a driver by means of linear positioning devices and of which at least an end area of the steering column can be moved away from a driver's position in an accident situation. The movement of at least the end or the steering column away from a driver's position is braked in an accident situation in a load-receiving manner by load absorption devices contained in the linear positioning devices.
