How to Adjust the Steering Wheel of Levin to be Lighter?
2 Answers
Levin's steering wheel weight cannot be adjusted. If the steering wheel becomes heavier, it is recommended to go to a 4S shop for inspection and repair to see if there are any problems. As one of the very important control parts of the whole vehicle, the steering wheel is related to many aspects. From another perspective, faults in many places can also be manifested through the steering wheel. Reasons for the steering wheel becoming heavier: 1. The power steering fluid is insufficient or needs to be replaced; 2. The front wheel alignment needs to be adjusted. The Levin is a car launched by GAC Toyota. In terms of body size, its length, width, and height are 4640mm, 1780mm, and 1455mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2700mm.
I feel the steering wheel is too heavy, which is quite annoying. I've been driving a Levin for several years, and the steering wheel's heaviness mainly depends on the electric power steering system adjustment. When driving, first check the tire pressure. If the front tires are too soft, it can make steering heavier. The manual suggests inflating them to 32-35 psi when cold, and it's easy to check with a tire pressure gauge. If the tire pressure is normal, check the driving mode settings. The Levin offers Eco, Normal, and Sport modes—Sport mode makes the steering heavier, so switching to Normal or Eco mode can lighten it. Try changing the mode via the steering wheel or the central control screen buttons. However, pay attention to the power assist sensation; if it's too heavy, it might indicate a fault in the power assist module, such as issues with the motor sensor. If you're not familiar with it, I recommend going directly to a Toyota dealership for a scan and diagnosis to avoid compromising safety. During regular maintenance, have the mechanic check the steering shaft and suspension to prevent minor issues from turning into major problems.
