A motor vehicle steering assembly is provided with a hub that rotates a steering column about a steering axis and a rim moveably coupled to the hub and pivotable about a second axis with a component perpendicular to the first axis. One arrangement has a sensor for detecting a pivot angle of the rim about the second axis; another arrangement has a controller which determines a pivot angle of the rim and activates or deactivates an ignition system and/or a driver restraint system based on the pivot angle. Typically the ignition or restraint will be deactivated in a reclined position, and a lockmay be provided to prevent pivoting when the systems are activated. The coupling may comprise a series of pins in one of the hub or rim and slots in the other, and the pivot angle may be determined byan electrical connection between a pin and a slot.
提供一种用于机动车辆的总成。总成包含:方向盘总成,方向盘总成包含:方向盘轮毂,该方向盘轮毂用于连接至机动车辆的转向柱,使得轮毂围绕转向轴线的旋转使转向柱旋转;以及包含围绕方向盘总成的第一轴线延伸的方向盘轮辋的方向盘轮辋总成,其中方向盘轮辋可移动地连接至方向盘轮毂,使得方向盘轮辋相对于方向盘轮毂围绕第二轴线选择性地可枢转,第二轴线在垂直于第一轴线的方向上具有分量;以及配置成确定方向盘轮辋的枢转角以及基于枢转角激活或停用车辆的点火系统和/或驾驶员约束系统的控制器。
