If the column switch is moved toward the front of the vehicle and hit on the instrument panel or meter bezel during a frontal collision, the steering wheel is moved to the front of the vehicle because the right and left levers fall down, ensuring the driver's safety. In addition, the column switch secures the rigidity that the levers do not fall down by the normal operation. The column switch cannot be reused after the deformation.
