How Much Should the Steering Wheel Be Adjusted Up, Down, Forward, and Backward?
1 Answers
The adjustment of the steering wheel's forward, backward, up, and down distance should be made in a natural sitting posture, with one hand extended and resting on the top of the steering wheel, and the arm kept generally straight with a slight bend. Below are the detailed introductions of the steering wheel: 1. Grasping Method: The correct method to hold and use the car steering wheel is to imagine the steering wheel as a clock face. The correct hand position should be the left hand holding between the 9 and 10 o'clock positions, and the right hand holding between the 3 and 4 o'clock positions. In the event of a collision, this posture is more conducive to supporting the body, thereby ensuring driving safety. 2. Working Principle: The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, airplanes, etc. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. It mainly consists of a skeleton, foam, and the corresponding installation clips or screw holes for the driver's airbag (DAB).
