What are the hidden functions of a car’s steering wheel? Many people don’t know, so let me introduce it to you.
Intelligent memory adjustment function
The steering wheel memory function is an intelligent configuration that stores the position information of the steering wheel and can automatically adjust it to a pre-set comfortable angle according to the habits of each driver. This function is usually closely linked to seat memory and rearview mirror memory, and generally includes 2 to 3 memory modes to meet the needs of different drivers. In luxury and high-end models, steering wheel memory is often a standard configuration, while in mid- and low-end models, it may be provided as an optional configuration. Every time the driver gets in the car, he only needs to press a button lightly, and the steering wheel can be quickly adjusted to a dedicated position without manual adjustment, which greatly improves driving efficiency and comfort.
Judgment of car fault function
Hand numbness and shaking
When driving a little faster, the steering wheel shakes significantly, and even causes the hand holding the steering wheel to numb. This is a signal that the balance of the steering wheel transmission device is destroyed, and the car’s drive shaft and its spline shaft and spline sleeve are excessively worn. At this time, the relevant parts need to be replaced as soon as possible, and you should consider going to a regular 4S shop for inspection and repair.
Steering wheel deviation
During driving, if you find that the steering wheel is out of control and always deviates in one direction, you can only keep driving in a straight line by holding the steering wheel tightly. This may be caused by uneven tire pressure, damaged dynamic balance of the front wheel assembly, loose parts of the drive shaft, wear and looseness of the steering system parts, improper calibration of the front wheel, failure of the shock absorber, inconsistent stiffness of the steel plate and spring, etc. You need to stop the car in time for inspection and repair to avoid affecting normal driving.
Heavy and laborious turning
Sometimes the steering wheel feels particularly heavy when starting the car, but it gets better after a while of use. This phenomenon may be caused by insufficient tire pressure and bent frame. Once discovered, it can be solved by increasing lubrication or replacing power oil and tires.
Anti-theft lock and unlock function
Many times, if you accidentally move the steering wheel when you pull out the key and turn off the engine, the anti-theft function of the steering wheel will be triggered, causing the steering wheel to lock. In this case, there is no need to call a tow truck. Just swing the steering wheel left and right while turning the key, and the car will start normally.
Multifunctional integrated control function
Take the Hyundai Yuxiang multifunctional steering wheel as an example. It is a car control device with multifunctional characteristics, integrating steering, braking, acceleration, lighting control, signal control, air conditioning control and other functions. It is exquisitely designed and equipped with a series of buttons, each of which has its own function. It is flexible, convenient and fast to operate, and can quickly complete the operation of the car. In addition, the steering wheel also adopts an advanced control system that can automatically detect and adjust, making the car more intelligent and reducing the workload of users. At the same time, it is also equipped with a number of safety devices such as seat belt locking device, vehicle safety alarm device, engine flameout alarm device, cab airbag device, etc. to ensure driving safety.
