Where is the horn located in the car?

The horn button is located in the center of the steering wheel, while the sound-producing horn is usually positioned inside the bumper near the front wheels. However, some vehicle models have their horns installed inside the grille. Therefore, to locate the horn, you need to first identify its approximate position. Here are some precautions regarding car horn usage: 1. Car horns are typically secured with clips and screws, and can usually be seen by opening the engine hood. It's important not to honk the horn indiscriminately while driving. Common honking patterns include one short beep or two short beeps. Avoid using the horn in areas with heavy pedestrian traffic. 2. Continuous horn usage should not exceed three times, and each honk should last no longer than three seconds. Prolonged honking can affect the driver's emotional state and easily lead to traffic accidents. 3. Never use the horn in school zones or no-honking areas, as doing so violates traffic laws and may result in penalties if caught by traffic police. During traffic congestion, exercise patience and wait.
To be honest, I have a lot to say about car horns. On new cars, the big round disc in the center of the steering wheel that makes a 'beep beep' sound when pressed is the main horn location—90% of models are designed this way. Some older cars like to hide the horn button behind the steering wheel or at the end of the turn signal stalk, leaving beginners completely lost when they can't find it. I have a friend whose car has a modified racing steering wheel, and the horn button was moved to a panel on the left side—the first time I drove his car, I couldn't figure out how to honk. Nowadays, electric cars take it even further. For example, Tesla lets you tap a horn icon on the touchscreen, and in an emergency, you might not even finish scrolling through the menu in time. Remember, never look down for the horn button while driving—safety first!
