Claim:
An adjustable steering column for a motor vehicle, comprising: a jacket unit rotatably supporting a steering spindle; first and second body-stationarily securable side jaws between which the jacket unit ( 4 ) is disposed; and a securement device, in the opened state of which the jacket unit is displaceable at least into one adjustment direction with respect to the side jaws and, in the closed state of which, the set position of the jacket unit is secured in position with respect to the side jaws, the securement device including: a clamp bolt penetrating through openings, the clamp bolt being configured such that, during the opening and closing of the securement device, the clamp bolt is shifted in its axial direction; first and second securement elements between which the jacket unit is disposed and of which the first securement element in the closed state of the securement device cooperates with a first counter-securement element, which is disposed on the first side jaw or is retained by it or is disposed on the jacket unit or is retained by it or is disposed on an intermediate unit disposed between the jacket unit and the side jaws or is retained by it, and of which the second securement element in the closed state of the securement device cooperates with a second counter-securement element, which is disposed on the second side jaw or is retained by it or is disposed on the jacket unit ( 4 ) or is retained by it or is disposed on the intermediate unit or is retained by it; and a stop element on or at the clamp bolt in the region between the two side jaws, the stop element being arranged such that, in the closed state of the securement device, the stop element is spaced apart from a counterstop disposed on one of the side jaws or a part connected thereto or on the jacket unit or a part connected thereto or on the intermediate unit or a part connected thereto, and the counterstop is configured so that, in the opened state of the securement device, the axial shifting of the clamp bolt is delimited through cooperation of the counterstop with the stop element.
