10.3 Operating the steering function
The mini-steering-wheel has a diameter of approx. 120 mm
and allows for very comfortable operation of the vehicle. The
movement of the mini-steering-wheel is converted to a steering
signal and executed by the steering actuator motor.
The operation and function is modelled on an original vehicle steering
wheel:
› Rotary movement to the right (right bend). -> Running wheels turn
to the right.
› Rotary movement towards the left (left bend). -> Running wheels
turn to the left.
See Section "7.1.2 Force adjustment of the operating elements"
The mini-steering-wheel may be equipped with a variety of different or-
thopaedic extensions, depending on the level and the type of disability,
e.g.:
› Ball
› Cone
› Cylinder, etc.
See Section "7.3 Orthopaedic extensions"
