<p>A horn actuation mechanism (5a, 5b) senses a deliberate movement of driver's hand (H) on a side of a steering wheel plane (P) distant from the driver (D), the steering wheel plane lying crosswise a rotational axis of the steering wheel (10). The vehicle horn (12) is energized in response to the sensing of such movement. A hand-operational portion (14) of the horn actuation mechanism, is advantageously disposed in a position in which a hand grasping the peripheral gripping portion (2) of the wheel can simultaneously actuate the horn actuation the mechanism without removal of the hand from controlled contact with the wheel.</p> |
