steering wheel

A steering wheel (also called a driving wheel (UK), a hand wheel, or simply wheel) is a type of steering control in vehicles.
Steering wheels are used in most modern land vehicles, including all mass-production automobiles, buses, light and heavy trucks, as well as tractors. The steering wheel is the part of the steering system that is manipulated by the driver; the rest of the steering system responds to such driver inputs. This can be through direct mechanical contact as in recirculating ball or rack and pinion steering gears, without or with the assistance of hydraulic power steering, HPS, or as in some modern production cars with the assistance of computer-controlled motors, known as electric power steering.

    MG4 Ticking/Rattling Noise Coming From Behind The Steering Wheel

    Hello, my car is an MG4 Luxury with 21,000 km on it. At 20,000 km, a ticking noise started coming from behind the steering wheel. The noise appears at around 15 km/h and becomes inaudible at 60 km/h. It is definitely not a trim noise; it's a mechanical sound, but I haven't been able to figure...

    MG4 Phone usage, inefficient shortcuts.

    I've had my MG 4 for quite some time. And one annoyance is the shortcut for phone usage. I hate having to use the touch screen while driving for safety reasons. The phone key opens the last calls page which is perfect. But it would be so much better if you could use the arrow keys on the...

    Issue with Steering Wheel Button Programming on MG4 Trophy EV After R46 Update - Anyone Else?

    I now want my LH steering wheel button for the 360 degree camera but when I try it reverts to energy recovery. What am I doing wrong? Excuse the shaky video. The RH button is not a problem it accepts any change.

    Question on heated steering wheel

    I've never had a car with a heated steering wheel and have been thankful for it in my MG4 given the dip in temperatures However I just want to know from others if it is normal for the heating to "pulse". I mean that the heating is not constant and turns on and off. Wherever I'm holding goes...

    Heated seat and steering wheel keep turning off.

    Nearly every time I put the heated seat and steering wheel on it turns off when the HVAC screen closes, I have to open it and turn them on again. Am I missing a step or something when I turn them on ?
