| | dépressions dans le volant commandant le klaxon | Explanation:
"Dimples on the horn contact plates engage the module base plate at an inner end of the horn sounding stroke of the module base plate when the occupant restraint module is depressed against the springs to complete a horn circuit and sound a horn. In the opposite direction, hooks on the ends of the legs of the plastic retainers in the keyhole-shaped slots in the horn contact plates arrest relative separation between horn contact plates and the module base plate and thereby define an outer end of the horn sounding stroke of the module base plate."
