An arrangement for securing a steering column to a cross member, in particular to a cockpit carrying member, of a motor vehicle, includes a steering column with retaining means. This arrangement makes it possible on the one hand with simple means to secure the steering column to the cross member of the motor vehicle and, on the other hand, with a further reduction in costs and weight, to enable a high degree of flexibility in relation to the use of the cross member and the steering column for different motor vehicles, by including a cross member that has, for securing the steering column, at least one hole running transverse to the longitudinal direction of the cross member for at least one securing means, and retaining means of the steering column wherein the retaining means are secured by at least one securing means to the cross member.

1. Arrangement for securing a steering column to a cross member of a motor vehicle, the steering column including retaining means, the cross member including, for securing the steering column, at least one clearance hole running transverse to a longitudinal direction of the cross member for at least one securing means, and the retaining means of the steering column being secured by the at least one securing means to the cross member, wherein a sleeve is provided for the at least one securing means, wherein the sleeve is inserted through the at least one clearance hole from an outer face side, wherein a reinforcement is provided in an area of the at least one clearance hole in the cross member, wherein the reinforcement is positioned against an interior surface of the cross member proximate a side thereof which is opposite the outer face side, and wherein a first end of the sleeve axially abuts the reinforcement such that the reinforcement is interposed between the interior surface and the first end of the sleeve. 2. Arrangement for securing a steering column according to claim 1, wherein the at least one securing means comprises at least one bolt. 3. Arrangement for securing a steering column according to claim 2, wherein a weld nut is provided for securing each respective bolt. 4. Arrangement for securing a steering column according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the cross member or the retaining means are at least partially comprised of metal. 5. Arrangement for securing a steering column according to claim 1, wherein the retaining means includes at least one flange having at least one hole for the at least one securing means. 6. Arrangement for securing a steering column according to claim 5, wherein the at least one securing means is a bolt and the sleeve includes an internal thread. 7. Arrangement for securing a steering column according to claim 1, wherein the at least one securing means is a bolt and the sleeve is a bolt sleeve. 8. Arrangement for securing a steering column according to claim 1, wherein at least one weld nut is provided for at least one bolt on an inner side of the cross member. 9. Arrangement for securing a steering column according to claim 1, wherein the sleeve is a continuous bolt sleeve that is provided as reinforcement at a force accommodation point in an area of a respective clearance hole in the cross member. 10. Arrangement for securing a steering column according to claim 1, wherein the sleeve has a second end with a flange formed thereon. 11. Arrangement for securing a steering column according to claim 10, wherein the flange prevents passage of the second end of the sleeve through the at least one clearance hole and into an interior space of the cross member. 12. Arrangement for securing a steering column according to claim 10, wherein the flange abuts the outer face side of the cross member. 13. Arrangement for securing a steering column according to claim 10, wherein the flange is interposed between the outer face side of the cross member and at least one flange of the retaining means. 14. Arrangement for securing a steering column according to claim 1, wherein the first end of the sleeve axially abuts the reinforcement in an interior space of the cross member such that the first end does not extend through and out of the at least one clearance hole. 15. Arrangement for securing a steering column according to claim 14, wherein the sleeve has a second end with a flange formed thereon, the flange abutting the outer face side of the cross member, wherein the flange prevents passage of the second end of the sleeve through the at least one clearance hole and into an interior space of the cross member. 16. Arrangement for securing a steering column according to claim 1, wherein the first end of the sleeve axially abuts the reinforcement in an interior space of the cross member such that the first end does not extend through and out of the at least one clearance hole, and wherein the sleeve includes a second end with a flange formed thereon. 17.
