What is the function of automatic steering correction?
1 Answers
Steering wheel automatic return is a function where the steering wheel automatically returns to the center after turning, whether the steering is fully turned or partially turned. In normal vehicles, the steering wheel will automatically return to the center when released. Steering wheel automatic return is a basic function of a car, and its main role is to enhance the driving control feel of the vehicle, as well as being an important indicator of the car's handling performance. Additional information: 1. Steering wheel return during turns: The steering wheel can return to the center during turns because the tires tend to move in the direction of least resistance when the car continues to move forward, which is the straight direction. When the vehicle is moving, the steering resistance is higher than the straight-line resistance, so the steering naturally avoids high resistance and automatically returns to the center without external force. 2. Front wheel return: Viewed from the side of the car, the kingpin axis and the ground do not form a right angle but are slightly tilted backward, creating an angle known as the caster angle. This causes the intersection point of the kingpin axis and the ground to create a distance from the wheel. During steering, the lateral force from the ground on the wheel generates a torque on the kingpin, which helps the front wheels return to the center.
