Abstract
An adjustable steering column for a motor vehicle comprises a fixing device, in the opened state of which the steering column is adjustable in at least one displacement direction, and, in the closed state of which, the set position of the steering column is fixed and which for the displacement direction or for at least one of the displacement directions, for fixing the set position comprises at least one securement part which includes at least one toothing with teeth, and at least one counter-securement part, which includes at least one counter toothing, with teeth. Viewed in a cross section through the teeth of the securement part and of the counter-securement part, wherein the plane of this cross section is oriented parallel to the displacement direction and parallel to the opening direction, both side flanks of the teeth of the securement part and of the counter-securement part in the closed state of the fixing device form, at least in a section of their extent, inclination angles of less than 20°, preferably less than 12°, with the opening direction.
