CONSTRUCTION DIAGRAM
STEERING WHEELM2370001000761
The steering wheel is designed to improve operabil-
ity, safety and maintainability and has the following
features:
•Newly designed Three-spoke type has been
adopted. For DE and ES, the steering wheel
made of urethane has been adopted. For GTS,
the steering wheel made of genuine leather has
been adopted.
•Audio remote control, voice control, and cruise
control switches are available on some models.
•Sporty and thick type grip shape has been
adopted.
•Rigid core metal reduces steering wheel vibra-
tion.
•It incorporates an SRS airbag to protect the driver
in the event of a frontal collision.
•The airbag module is equipped with an inflator
that does not contain sodium azide.
•Optimisation of the airbag specifications reduces
the risk of injury to the passengers in a collision.
