1. A positioning system for positioning a display device for presenting visualy perceptible information on a display in a motor vehicle, the positioning system comprising:
a guide system with at least one rail element and at least one slide element guidable with the at least one rail element, the at least one rail element or the at least one slide element being fixed via a connection device to the display device and the other of the at least one rail element or the at least one slide element being connectable to a supporting structure of an instrument panel of the motor vehicle, the at least one rail element or the at least one slide element fixed to the display device, via the connection device, is configured to break when a pulse p1 of more than 42 kg*m/s acts on a first display region that is farther away from a guide plane, defined by the guide system, than a dividing plane running substantially parallel to the guide plane; and
at least one securing element rigidly connected via a first end region to the display device and via a second end region to the other of the at least one rail element or the at least one slide element connected to the supporting structure,
wherein the at least one securing element is designed to become deformed or buckled when a pulse p2 of more than 42 kg*m/s acts on a second display device region, which is less distant from the guide plane than a dividing plane running substantially parallel to the guide plane so that the guide system achieves a substantially translational displacement of the display device by a relative movement between the at least one rail element and the at least one slide element in the guide plane.
