The coverings are constructed for the accommodation of switches. On one side, each covering leads away from the steering wheel ring and, on the other side, each covering adjoins a trim plate of the steering wheel. In order to provided the steering wheel with an advantageous design, the coverings are constructed as modules which, depending on the equipment of the motor vehicle, have function areas provided with areas without switches and/or with switches.
