How to Adjust the Height of the Baojun 730 Steering Wheel?
3 Answers
Baojun 730 steering wheel height adjustment method is as follows: 1. Locate the locking handle, then push the locking handle downward to unlock the steering wheel. 2. Adjust the steering wheel to a suitable position, ensuring it faces the driver's chest directly and allows the driver to see all the instruments and indicator lights on the dashboard. 3. Then push the locking handle in the opposite direction to lock it. 4. Finally, try moving the steering wheel in all directions to confirm if it has been securely locked. Below is more information about the Baojun 730: 1. The front suspension of the Baojun 730 uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension. 2. The Baojun 730 is equipped with two types of engines: a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. The 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine features DVVT technology and multi-point fuel injection, with an aluminum cylinder head and cast iron cylinder block. This engine is paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a CVT transmission.
Adjusting the height of the Baojun 730 steering wheel is actually quite simple, as long as you master the correct method. First, ensure the vehicle is turned off for safety. Then bend down to the driver's seat area, where you'll find an adjustment lever on the steering column, located near the leg side. Push the lever downward with your finger until you hear a click, then release it. Now you can use both hands to move the steering wheel up or down to adjust its height. Once you've found a comfortable position, remember to push the lever back to lock it in place. Having driven this model for several years, I prefer setting it at a height where my arms are naturally bent and my palms can rest comfortably on the wheel rim. Taller drivers may prefer a higher position, while shorter drivers might adjust it lower - this helps prevent fatigue during long drives. Important: Never adjust while driving to avoid distraction. If the lever gets stuck, it might be due to dust or rust; just apply some lubricant spray to fix it.
I find the joy of manually adjusting the steering wheel height lies in the process. Locate the small lever beneath the steering wheel, pull it to release the locking mechanism—this allows free height adjustment. Raising it eases arm strain, while lowering suits a lower seating position. After experimenting, I found the optimal position is when my eyes align with the upper third of the instrument cluster without obstructing visibility. If adjustment feels stiff, check the lever's mobility—older vehicles may need maintenance; periodic WD-40 application on joints prevents seizing. Avoid excessive force to prevent damaging the steering column, which compromises safety. Adjust once before daily driving to ensure smooth and stable steering.
