ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a control unit with which is equipped a vehicle provided with a steering wheel coupled to the rotary member controlling the steering members, comprising at least two control members disposed on the side opposite the driver with respect to the steering wheel, whilst these members have actuating surfaces whose centres define, with the axis of the rotary member, half-planes shifted by a first angle. The directions perpendicular to the actuating surfaces and passing through the centres are contained in planes parallel to the axis which form a second angle larger than the first, whilst the intersection is disposed with respect to the plane parallel to the axis of the rotary member and containing the centres of the two actuating surfaces, substantially on the side where said axis is itself disposed.
This invention may be applied to the production of a dashboard providing greater safety.
