#1 Steering Wheel
A steering wheel is a type of steering control in cars or automobile vehicles. It is
also known as the driving wheel or handwheel. It is the part of the steering
system that is controlled by the driver. The rest of the steering system reacts to
driver inputs.
This can be through direct mechanical contact such as rewiring ball or rack and
pinion steering gear, hydraulic power steering, or in some modern cars with the
aid of computer-controlled motors, known as electric power. It also has a horn
device that produces audible sounds to get the attention of nearby vehicles and
pedestrians.
Speedometers have special names for other vehicles and use some other means
of speed sensing. This is known as the Pit log in boats and in aircraft, it is called
the airspeed indicator.
In some vehicles, the turn signal lever is found on the left side of the steering
wheel. It works as if moving the lever up indicates a right turn and moving it down
indicates a left turn.
#4 Air Ventilation
Nowadays most vehicles are equipped with air ventilation. It is also known as the
air conditioner. Usually, it is available in two methods.
#5 Side Mirror
A side mirror is a mirror mounted on the exterior of vehicles, designed to help the
driver see areas outside of peripheral vision, the rear of the vehicle, and the
sides of the vehicle. It is also known as a wing mirror.
Side mirrors are used for manual or remote vertical and horizontal adjustments to
afford enough coverage to operators of varying heights and seating positions.
#7 Vehicle Audio
Vehicle audio is also an essential part of a car interior that serves in-car
entertainment and information for vehicle passengers. In the early 1950s, it
contained a simple AM radio.
#8 Emergency Flashers
Emergency flashers are visible warning lights mounted on a vehicle. They are
activated when a driver pushes the hazard light button or switch.
These lights alert other drivers to an emergency in which you may be in or that
your car is parked on the side of the road. All turn signal lights switch on when
you start your emergency flasher.
The glove compartment is also known as a glove box. The name originated from
the purpose of the compartment to store driving gloves. They are rarely in a box
on the floorboard near the driver.
#10 Air Bags
An airbag is a part of the car interior that uses a bag designed to expand very
quickly, then quickly empty during a crash. It includes airbag cushions, a flexible
cloth bag, an inflation module, and an impact sensor.
The purpose of using airbags is to provide soft cushioning and control to the
person sitting in the vehicle during an accident. It reduces injuries between the
flailing occupant and the interior of the vehicle.
#11 Clutch Pedal
If you’ve ever driven a car, then you’re familiar with clutches. The clutch pedal is
only found in manual transmission-type cars. It is found on the floor to the left
side of the brake pedal.
When it is pressed by the driver, it closes the clutch which ends the transmission
of power from the engine to the transmission. And when it is released, it simply
applies power through the transmission.
When it is pressed by the driver, it applies the brakes, causing the vehicle to slow
down and/or stop. You must use your right foot to apply force on the pedal to
apply the brakes.
#13 Gas Pedal
The accelerator pedal is also known as the gas pedal. It is found on the floor on
the right side. It controls the amount of gas being pumped into the engine and
thus controls the speed of the vehicle. Slowly push the gas pedal while your car
is accelerating.
Car windows that can be opened or closed with the help of buttons are called
power windows. Power windows were first introduced in 1941 with Ford Motors.
These power windows are first used in Lincoln Custom and Packard Custom
Super 180 cars. The power window has replaced the traditional manual handle.
These are sustainable, strong materials and easy to use. It can be used to hold
drinks, food, and any small things you want to keep.
#19 Floor Carpet
Dirt from our shoes can also spread inside the car, creating an unhygienic
environment that really smells. By using floor carpet, the collection of dust and
water in the interior can be prevented.
A seat belt is a vehicle safety device that helps keep you safe and secure inside
your vehicle during an accident or a sudden stop of the vehicle.
