Does the steering wheel control the front or rear wheels?
1 Answers
The steering wheel controls the front wheels, while special vehicles may control the rear wheels. The steering wheel only controls the front wheels for steering, continuously adjusting their direction. Common household cars, sedans, and MPVs typically use front-wheel steering, whereas special vehicles like forklifts and large excavators employ rear-wheel steering. The car steering wheel is connected to the steering shaft via splines, converting the driver's force applied to the wheel's edge into torque transmitted to the steering shaft. Common buttons on a car steering wheel include: 1. SET for speed setting; 2. CNL for canceling cruise control; 3. RES for resuming cruise control; 4. Up and down for volume adjustment.
