Zusammenfassung:A steering assembly (1) comprising a steering wheel (2), the steering wheel being rotatable about a rotation axis (R), and defining a plane (P) substantially perpendicular to the rotation axis and a steering wheel mount (3) supporting the steering wheel (2) through a joint (7), the joint (7) allowing tilting of the steering wheel (2) about a tilt axis (T), the tilt axis (T) being substantially perpendicular to the rotation axis (R), and wherein tilting of the steering wheel (2) about the tilt axis (T) changes a vertical angle (±) of the plane (P) with respect to the steering wheel mount (3), wherein the steering wheel (2) or the steering wheel mount (3) has a plurality of one or more guide elements (4, 4a, 4b, 4c) arranged at a side facing the steering wheel mount (3) or the steering wheel (2), respectively, the plurality one or more of guide elements (4, 4a, 4b, 4c) being radially spaced from the rotation axis (R), the steering wheel mount (3) or the steering wheel (2) has a plurality of one or more substantially circular control faces (6, 6a, 6b, 6c), the control faces (6, 6a, 6b, 6c) arranged at a side of the facing the steering wheel (2) or the steering wheel mount (3), respectively, facing the respective other, and the control faces (6, 6a, 6b, 6c) engaging with at least one of the guide elements (4a, 4b), and wherein at each rotational position (¦) of the steering wheel (2), the plurality of one or more guide elements (4a, 4b) support the steering wheel (2) in a predefined position with regard to the tilt axis (T) so as to define the vertical angle (±) of the plane (P) with respect to the surface of the steering wheel mount (3).
