Abstract
A motor vehicle includes a bodyshell structure which delimits at least one passenger compartment and one front compartment that are separated by an upper transverse cross member. The vehicle includes a steering column that is coupled in the engine compartment to a steering system and that extends into the passenger compartment by passing under the cross member. The steering column is adjustable in inclination between extreme minimum and maximum angular positions. The steering column is also collapsible longitudinally by a safety device in the event of an impact. The column can angularly repositioned by moving the column from the maximum inclined position to a given, less inclined angular position, which can be activated no later than the time of longitudinal collapse of the column to facilitate the collapse.
