What is Variable Gear Ratio Steering For?
1 Answers
Variable gear ratio steering adjusts the steering gear ratio based on the vehicle's speed and steering angle. When the car is parked, moving at low speeds, or making large steering turns, the variable steering ratio provides a smaller gear ratio. During high-speed driving or small steering angles, it offers a larger gear ratio, thereby enhancing steering stability. Relevant information about car steering wheels includes: 1. Function: It converts the force applied by the driver on the steering wheel edge into torque and transmits it to the steering shaft. 2. Correct Grip: Visualizing the steering wheel as a clock face, the correct hand position is left hand between 9 and 10 o'clock, and right hand between 3 and 4 o'clock. This posture provides better body support in case of a collision.
