Index Explanation
1 Switch for steering column calibration
2 Calibration directions

The electrical steering column calibration has a Softstop for the axial and vertical axis. When the end of the axle approaches the Hall sensors for the Softstops, activation of the steering column is stopped. If the Hall sensors for the Softstops were defective, the steering column calibration motor would encounter blocking current on reaching the end position and would be switched off.
