What Does the Steering Assist System Mean?
2 Answers
Steering assist system refers to an electronically controlled device that, based on the torque signal from the steering wheel and the vehicle's speed signal, generates corresponding magnitude and direction of auxiliary power through an electric motor to assist the driver in steering functions, building upon the traditional mechanical steering system. Vehicle maintenance items include: 1. Replacement of engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter; 2. Inspection of the body and tires; 3. Inspection of the braking system; 4. Inspection of chassis damage. The benefits of vehicle maintenance are: 1. Ensuring the vehicle operates in optimal performance condition; 2. Improving vehicle efficiency and reducing wear on parts and tires; 3. Enhancing driving safety; 4. Preventing vehicle issues that could lead to hazards; 5. Reducing noise and environmental pollution; 6. Maintaining the vehicle's appearance cleanliness and preventing damage.
The steering assist system is like an onboard helper that makes turning the steering wheel easier and more precise while driving. Having driven for over 20 years, I can say that without it, my arms would get exhausted when parallel parking in the city or navigating narrow roads. Now with this system, just a slight turn of the wheel makes the car respond obediently. It works by using an electric motor or hydraulic mechanism to amplify your steering input, reducing physical effort. The system is also integrated with safety features like ABS to prevent skidding and loss of control. Over time, these systems have evolved - older vehicles use hydraulic systems with power steering fluid, while newer models mostly feature electric systems that save fuel and respond faster. If issues arise, such as noticeably heavier steering or jerky movements, prompt inspection is needed for potential fluid leaks or electrical faults. Regular maintenance should include checking dust boots and lubrication to avoid mid-trip surprises. This technology significantly eases daily driving, especially as one ages and physical strength declines - it's absolutely essential equipment.
