ABSTRACT:
A motor vehicle adjustable safety steering column for a motor vehicle, including a column with an air bag, has a steering spindle which can be pushed together in a telescope-type manner and is disposed in outer casing tube parts. The steering column are supported by way of a deformation element. The deformation element comprises a first outer casing tube part which, on the end side, is supported on an inner casing tube to envelope the deformation element. This casing tube has a toothed rack into which a pinion of an adjusting device engages for axial displacement of the steering column. Thus, a steering column of compact construction can be both axially adjustable and have an energy-absorbing effect.
