Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	In an occupant protection device for a driver's seat of a motor vehicle, a steering spindle is arranged in a jacket tube and a steering wheel is preferably provided with an airbag. The steering spindle is movable in the direction of its longitudinal axis and at least one energy-absorbing element is associated with the steering spindle. The advantage of the sliding steering spindle is that the whole steering system, including additional subassemblies secured thereto, is moved away from the occupant in the event of a crash. Depending on the intensity of the impact on the occupant, more or less energy is absorbed.
