What owners wrote
As I was driving, another vehicle started veering into my lane. I pressed the horn pad to warn them. However, because I used my right hand and hit the pad at the most natural location for me -- I.e. The lower right portion, instead of honking the horn I hit the hands free talk switch on the steering hub. This has happened more than once. This is a natural location to hit the horn pad and other people I have talked to have had the same problem.
