Steering Wheel: Description and Operation
STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN
The steering wheel and column are designed to absorb energy when driver contact is made with the steering wheel or inflated air bag. In a frontal
collision the driver may contact the steering wheel directly or load the steering wheel and column through the inflated air bag. When the driver applies
load to the air bag or steering wheel the column will compress downward absorbing some of the impact, helping to reduce bodily injuries to the driver.
The steering wheel and column must be inspected for damage after a collision.
