Abstract

A signal horn activation device for a motor vehicle comprises a pad (13) coupled to the steering wheel (11) to be pressed by the occupant for activating the signal horn (20), a pressure-sensitive means (15) coupled to said pad (13) to generate an electrical signal in response to pressure applied to said pad (13), and a signal processing means (18) arranged to activate the signal horn (20) in response to receiving said electrical signal from said pressure-sensitive means (15). The pressure-sensitive means (15) comprises at least one piezoelectric element (15) and said signal processing means (18) is arranged to evaluate changes of said electrical signal over time and to activate said signal horn (20) depending on the result of said evaluation.
