The multifunction steering wheel (10) controls the operation of vehicle functions or devices such as headlights, windshield wipers, cruise control, and so forth, using a transmitter receiver pair to convey information relative to the operation of the devices between the rotatable steering wheel and stationary steering column. In particular, the transmitter receiver pair may take the form of an optoelectronic infrared receiver (32) disposed on the steering wheel member and a matching infrared receiver (36) positioned on the steering column within the field of illumination of the transmitter. |
