Abstract
A steering wheel unit with a steering wheel body and an air bag module arranged on the steering wheel body and can be depressed on the steering wheel body in an axial direction. Positioning units position the air bag module on the steering wheel, including a first positioning unit (P, P', and P″), a steering wheel side positioning element with at least one rigid level positioning surface (″), and an air bag module side positioning element with at least one rigid positioning mating surface (″). The positioning surface and the positioning mating surface are parallel to and abut one another when the air bag module is not depressed. The positioning surface (′, and″) and the positioning mating surface (′, and″) are angled toward one another with respect to a reference plane (BE) which is perpendicular to the axial direction.
