  • Publication number: 20240034388
    Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle steering wheel comprising a central portion, a rim which can pivot relative to the central portion between a driving position and at least one retracted position, an actuator pivoting the rim and a locking member that can move between a locking position of the rim in its driving position, and a disengaged position, characterized in that it comprises a mechanism for transmitting movement between the actuator and the rim and between the actuator and the locking member, and which successively drives the locking member towards its disengaged position, then pivots the rim.
