ABSTRACT:
An adjustable steering column for a motor vehicle includes a setting unit displaceable in at least one displacement direction for setting the position of the steering column, a holding unit nondisplaceable into this displacement direction, a securement device, in the opened state of which the setting unit (4) is displaceable with respect to the holding unit for setting the position of the steering column and in the closed state of which the setting unit (4) is secured in position by the securement device, and a crash blocking device, which is displaceable between a passive state and an active state. The blocking device raises an additional holding force against a displacement of the setting unit with respect to the holding unit into at least one displacement direction. The crash blocking device includes at least one blocking element with at least two blocking noses between which a plate part is located or between which two plate parts are located, and which in the active state of the crash blocking device are in contact on both sides on this plate part or on the plate parts.
