The OHC Motors LED steering wheel system is designed to enhance the driving experience by providing convenient and safe security, reducing distractions, and offering detailed vehicle information. The system incorporates LED illumination that changes color based on engine RPM, along with features such as fuel consumption monitoring and customizable settings. Installation and operation require careful attention to the provided instructions, and warranty services are available under specific conditions. This article details the features, operation, and installation considerations for OHC Motors LED steering wheel systems, based on available documentation.
System Components and Appearance
The OHC Motors LED steering wheel system consists of several key components. These include a left (L) controller, a right (R) controller, an LED light display, and a central displayer. The controllers feature both short-pressing and long-pressing buttons, with long presses defined as holding a button for more than two seconds. A dual-click requires pressing the button a second time within two seconds. The arrangement of LEDs provides visual cues related to engine performance, transitioning through green (50%-60% and 60%-70%), yellow (70%-80% and 80%-90%), and red (90%-100%) illumination levels. When the engine reaches 100% of its specified limit, all LEDs will flash red, indicating the need for a gear shift.
Operational Navigation and Functionality
The system’s functionality is accessed through a main menu with four primary options: ED Model, LED Switching, Racing Model, and Setting Model. Navigation between these menus is accomplished using the left (LK) and right (RK) controllers. Selecting a menu item highlights it, and the right (RL) controller is used to access the desired function within that menu. Within a functional menu, the left (LK) controller cycles through individual function options.
The ED Model provides functions related to fuel efficiency and vehicle performance. It contains ten functional units controllable via the LK button, with LEDs providing visual feedback on vehicle information. The system also allows for adjustment of displayer and LED luminance using the RK button, with long-pressing the LL and RL buttons simultaneously for at least two seconds to dim the displayer. Speed units can be toggled between kilometers per hour (km/h) and miles per hour (mph) using the LK and RK buttons, with the LL button saving the selected setting.
Detailed Function Descriptions
The system offers a range of functions accessible through the main menu. These include:
- Fuel Consumption Details: The system provides information regarding fuel consumption.
- Steering Wheel Angle Perception: The system is designed to perceive steering wheel angle allocation.
- LED Opening: The LED illumination can be controlled and adjusted.
- Racing Model: A dedicated racing model is available, though specific details of its functionality are not provided in the documentation.
- Setting Model: This model allows for customization of various system parameters.
- Oil Consumption: Displays oil consumption data.
- RPM/Vehicle Speed: Displays engine revolutions per minute and vehicle speed.
- Engine Load Rate/Vehicle Voltage: Provides information on engine load and vehicle voltage.
- Water Temperature/Oil Temperature: Monitors and displays engine water and oil temperatures.
- Oil Remaining/Endurance Mileage: Indicates the remaining oil level and estimated mileage.
- Turbocharging: Displays turbocharging information, if applicable to the vehicle.
Troubleshooting and Common Issues
The documentation outlines solutions to several common issues. If the lights do not function, users should check the current/ACC (accessory) power supply and the connection of the system. If the backlight does not work, the switch connection should be verified. A prolonged horn sound may indicate a matching issue that requires verification. If the system fails to operate after allocation, the documentation suggests checking the current/ACC and the opening of the ACC, as well as verifying the connection and matching of the main land and pressing land.
If the engine temperature exceeds safe limits, an indicating light will illuminate as a warning. The documentation does not specify the exact temperature threshold triggering this warning.
