~1min read

The steering wheel switch module is a single unit comprising:

  • the combination switch holder (1),
  • the clock spring (2),
  • the wiper switch (3),
  • the audio system control (4) (depending on version),
  • the cruise control switch (5) (depending on version),
  • the lighting switch (6).

The steering column switch module provides the man-machine interface for the radio, cruise control, wiper and lighting controls.

The steering column switch module transmits the user's actions to the BSI via the VAN CAR 1 multiplex network.

The steering wheel switch module also performs the following functions:

  • controlling the buzzer integrated in the instrument cluster housing according to sound requests sent by the BSI,
  • receiving RF messages from the plip and the tire underinflation transmitters,
  • communicating with the transponder for the coded immobilizer,
  • relaying information from the steering wheel angle sensor.
