Poor design of horn buttons are difficult to locate even when steering wheel is in neutral position and impossible to locate when going around curves without taking eyes off the road. Nlm
Poor design of horn is making it diffcult to locate horn in case of an emergency situation. Horn has 2 thumb size buttons on each side of sterring wheel only.
The horn consists of two thumb-sized buttons near the perimeter of the steering wheel, at about the 3 and 9 O'clock positions. These buttons are hard to find, particularly when the steering wheel is being turned. This is a dangerous, flawed design. The horn is not easy to locate automatically, and you do not want to take your eyes off the road to find it, especially when in a situation that requires its use.
The horn button problems. Tt there are two small buttons located on each side of the steering wheel to operate the horn, when the driver turns the wheel it is impossible to quickly locate the small honr to operate the horn in emergency situations.
