[origin: DE19918355A1] An electric motor (1), through a control unit (6), sets the front wheels (2,3) at an angle corresponding to that of the steering wheel (4). When parked the driver can select the front wheel position with a position setting device (10), e.g. straight ahead or at an angle to the curb, indicated by an angle indicator (11). The control unit sets the steering wheel position at the appropriate angle through an electric motor (9)
