Description:Complete Specification:
The following specification describes and ascertains the nature of this invention and the manner in which it is to be performed.

Field of the invention:
[0001] The present invention relates to a plurality of switches for operating a plurality of electric motors for steering wheel adjustment and steering column adjustment and a plurality of electric motors.

Background of the invention:
[0002] JP 57122608 A2 describes to achieve a smooth turning of a vehicle by series connection of the driving motor through the detection of the starting action of the turning. When a vehicle runs straight on, series-parallel selector switches 21a and 21b are closed at a contact P to have two running motors connected in parallel. As a forward-backward selector switch 30 is closed at a contact F, excitation coils 25 and 27 are excited to charge contactors 8 and 10. When a steering wheel is operated to turn right, an excitation coil 22 is excited and the series-parallel selector switches 21a and 21b are closed at a contact S to have the running motors connected in series lowering in the revolution. When the steering wheel reaches an angle of turn set to stop the turning wheel, a detection switch 28a is changed over to contact point R from F. This releases the contact 8 while charges the contact 7 enabling wheels to turn at a small radius of turning.
