Abstract
An adjustable telescopic steering column for motor vehicles has at least one longitudinally adjustable telescopic section which is held in an adjusted position by a locking device. In the event of a crash, the telescopic section is acted upon by an additional holding force by way of a locking part. The locking part is a component which operates independently of the locking device for the adjusted position and, in the operative position, is applied with a frictional connection to the longitudinally adjustable telescopic section.
