    摘要: A system for communicating with components on a steering member has a first electrically conductive coil affixed to a stationary component around a steering shaft of the vehicle. A second electrically conductive coil is coupled to and rotating with the steering member. The second transceiver is wirelessly operatively coupled the first transceiver. The first transceiver coupled to the first electrically conductive coil. A second transceiver is coupled to the second electrically conductive coil. The first electrically conductive coil induces current in the second electrically conductive coil to power a first component of the components. The first electrically conductive coil is spaced apart from the second electrically conductive coil. The first transceiver and the second transceiver bi-directionally wirelessly communicate through the first electrically conductive coil and the second electrically conductive coil.

    摘要: The steering heater 11 is provided on the surface of the skin material 23. The resistance value of the steering heater 11 is set to a level at which a heat quantity for heating the steering wheel 2 to a desired degree according to a voltage supplied from a power supply 32 which will be described later can be secured. The resistance value of the steering heater 11 is 1Ω or less, or the like, for example. When the resistance value of the steering heater 11 is set to 1Ω or less, for example, if the power supplied from the power supply 32 is about 13V, the heat quantity of the steering heater 11 is about 170 W and thus can appropriately heat the steering wheel 2.

    摘要: A steering assembly and a system for actuating a vehicle horn uses a grounding signal transmitted from the steering assembly to an electronic control unit in communication with an electronically actuated horn. The steering assembly includes a base plate connected to a hub in the steering assembly. At least one horn grounding switch is coupled to the base plate and has a ground contact generating an output from the horn grounding switch. The ground contact is movable between a normally closed position connected to the vehicle electrical ground that corresponds to the off status of the vehicle horn and an open position disconnected from the vehicle electrical ground that corresponds to the on status of the vehicle horn. A biasing force directs the ground contact to a normally closed position in electrical communication with the vehicle electrical ground.
