steering wheel turns.\n\n        It carries the driver-airbag electrical circuit and, depending on the vehicle's\n        equipment, may also carry connections associated with the horn and steering-wheel controls.\n\n        Correct centring and selection of the correct electrical version are therefore important.\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n    \u003c!-- ITEM
