What are the switches on the steering wheel for?
1 Answers
1. Models without automatic headlight adjustment feature a manual adjustment knob. After turning on the low beams, pushing the turn signal lever forward switches to high beams, while pulling it back flashes the high beams once (commonly known as "flashing lights"), a technique many drivers use during encounters with oncoming vehicles. 2. The turn signal operates with a downward movement for left turns and upward for right turns. The button on the left controls the trip computer, allowing selection of displays such as fuel consumption or remaining range. Some premium models feature a lane assist system on the turn signal lever, which monitors the road ahead and alerts the driver through steering wheel vibrations when the vehicle deviates from its lane. 3. Multifunction buttons on the steering wheel typically facilitate driver operations like volume adjustment and menu selection. Models equipped with car phones may also place call answer/end and microphone buttons on the steering wheel. 4. The right side of the steering wheel houses wiper controls. Adjustment involves pushing the lever up/down according to the icons, with speed adjustable based on rainfall intensity. Pulling the lever toward the driver activates windshield washer fluid. Models with rear wipers can also be adjusted here using identical controls.
