What is the correct hand position for holding the steering wheel?
1 Answers
The proper hand position for holding the steering wheel should be left hand between 9 and 10 o'clock positions, and right hand between 3 and 4 o'clock positions. Below are detailed introductions about the steering wheel: Adjustment method: For adjusting the steering wheel's forward/backward and height distance, it should be done in a natural sitting posture with one arm extended to rest on the top of the steering wheel, maintaining a generally straight but slightly bent arm position. Functional role: The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of vehicles such as cars, ships, and airplanes. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver on the steering wheel rim into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. It mainly consists of a skeleton, foam, and installation clips or screw holes corresponding to the driver airbag (DAB).
