Abstract

In a center console area for a passenger motor vehicle, the compensating wedge is disposed by a bearing arrangement on the assigned holding section of the center console crossmember. Thereby, the compensating wedge can be changed in a forcibly guided manner from a mounting position into an operative position which compensates tolerances between the center console crossmember and the support columns. A stop fixes the compensating wedge in its mounting position, and, in particular, form-lockingly acting fixing devices are assigned to the compensating wedge for securing the compensating wedge in its operative position.
