What does it mean when the steering wheel light is on?
1 Answers
The reasons for the steering wheel light being on are as follows: 1. The steering wheel light on the dashboard actually refers to the power steering system. When the steering wheel light comes on accompanied by an exclamation mark, it indicates an issue with the vehicle's power steering system. 2. A yellow light indicates partial failure of the steering system, requiring greater force to turn the steering wheel; a red light indicates complete failure of the steering system. Extension: The correct way to hold the steering wheel is to imagine it as a clock face, with the left hand positioned between the 9 and 10 o'clock positions and the right hand between the 3 and 4 o'clock positions. This posture provides better body support in the event of a collision. Holding the steering wheel with only four fingers and placing the thumb along the rim can be dangerous. If the wheels hit a rock or high curb, the front wheels may suddenly turn sharply, causing the steering wheel to spin rapidly, which could potentially break the thumb.
