Knee Diverter: Description and Operation
The steering wheel and the steering column assembly are specially designed. In order to stabilize the steering column assembly during a collision, a
wire is stretched from the lower portion of the A-pillar over the steering column assembly to the floor strengthening tunnel.
The steering wheel is adjustable in four directions; in and out as well as up and down. In the center of the steering wheel is space for the airbag.
On the steering column assembly is a knee shield plate to which a knee shield of impact-absorbing material is screwed.
On cars with USA and Canada specification, there is a knee protection plate on the steering column to which shock-absorbing material is bolted. There
is a corresponding knee shield on the passenger side.
