Abstract
A pivotable display system having a traction spring tensioned to reversibly pivot the display around a pivot axis of a shaft connected to an upper portion of a display in a direction from a front side of the display toward the rear side of the display. In the event of an accident-related application of force below a threshold, the display is rotatable in a rearward direction toward an instrument panel, so that a steering column pushed in a direction towards the display avoids or at least reduces the risk of destruction of the display. In the event of accident-related application of force above the threshold, the traction spring may reversibly displace the display upwardly away from the steering column.
