Abstract
A driver side air bag module (50, 50', 50') formed of an air bag cover (2), mounting plate (10), inflator (22), and cushion (12). The driver side air bag module cover (2) includes a relatively flexible horn actuation area (4) which is depressible from its upper surface (6) by a driver. A primarily airtight chamber (18) can be found inside the air bag module (50) being coupled to a sensor (14) for sensing changes in pressure and actuating a horn (32).
