What is the function called for automatic steering wheel retraction?
1 Answers
Steering wheel automatic retraction is called the electric steering wheel adjustment memory function, which records the driving habits of the original driver, including settings for the seat, steering wheel, rearview mirror, etc. It restores to the original state after the engine is turned off to facilitate the driver getting in and out of the car. The electric steering wheel adjustment memory is a functional configuration used to store the steering wheel position. When changing drivers, it can be adjusted to the preset position with one click. The electric steering wheel adjustment memory is usually integrated with the electric seat adjustment memory and electric rearview mirror adjustment memory. Generally, vehicles provide 2 to 3 sets of memory. Only electrically adjustable steering wheels can achieve the memory function. Principle of steering wheel memory technology: It has a built-in memory chip that stores the information set by the user. When different user information needs to be retrieved, the steering wheel will restore to the user-set position through electric adjustment. This achieves intelligent management, but the prerequisite for the memory function is that the steering wheel must be electrically adjustable. Some vehicle models not only have the electric steering wheel adjustment memory function but also feature a humanized design. When the vehicle is turned off, the steering wheel will automatically retract partially to create space for the driver's seat, making it easier for the driver to get in and out. After powering on, the steering wheel will return to its original position.
