Abstract
A vehicle steering wheel comprises a first switch () and a first actuating element () for actuating the first switch, and a second switch () and a second actuating element () for actuating the second switch. There is further provided a carrier () adapted to be displaced by the second actuating element () in an actuating direction (B) for actuating the second switch () and on which the first switch () is mounted. The steering wheel also has a base body (), relative to which the carrier () is mounted so as to be displaceable in said actuating direction (B). The first actuating element () is provided with a stop element () which abuts against the base body () when the first actuating element () is displaced up to a complete actuation of the first switch (). The stop element also prevents a displacement of the carrier (), leading to the actuation of the second switch (), by means of the first actuating element ().
