Back when I drove the BYD F3, the steering wheel did have height adjustment, which made driving much more comfortable. Once you're seated in the driver's seat, just look down below the steering wheel for a small lever or handle—give it a gentle pull to adjust the position up or down. I found setting it higher better for long-distance driving to reduce arm fatigue, while a lower position suited city driving for better road visibility. This feature is really designed to accommodate drivers of different heights. As someone on the shorter side, I'd have the steering wheel pressing against my legs without adjustment. The safest time to adjust is when parked; never fiddle with it while driving. After adjustment, always check that the locking mechanism is secure to prevent accidents from loosening. Over time, you'll realize these thoughtful designs significantly enhance the driving experience, especially in practical and comfort-focused family cars like the F3.

After driving the BYD F3, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the steering wheel is height-adjustable—a truly thoughtful design. In daily use, I simply pull the adjustment lever under the steering wheel to effortlessly set it to my preferred height. For example, when driving family members on weekends, I raise it slightly to avoid leg discomfort, while lowering it during regular drives enhances stability. This feature isn’t just convenient; it also reduces driving fatigue—too high strains the back, and too low tires the arms. I recommend periodically cleaning dust around the adjustment lever to prevent jamming. Although the F3 is an older model, its adjustment mechanism is so intuitive even beginners can master it quickly. Combined with seat adjustments, the entire driving posture feels tailor-made, eliminating unnecessary hassle.

The steering wheel of the BYD F3 can be adjusted up and down, and the operation is quite straightforward. Before driving, locate the small lever under the steering wheel, pull it to unlock, adjust the height, and then secure it. This adjustment allows for a more personalized position—taller drivers can set it higher, while shorter drivers can set it lower, making driving more comfortable. I've also noticed that regular maintenance can extend the lifespan of this component.
