Abstract
The driver's side airbag cover of an automotive airbag module is of one-piece, as opposed to layered, construction. It carries keypads within its active region which control function switches. The keypads are housed in openings which are backed by relatively rigid panels. The function switches are membrane switches sandwiched between the keypads and their respective panels.
