The rods can move in all directions. The rods reach up to the car seat. They are held together with a transverse handle. The rod to the brake is attached to the handle. To brake, press down on the handle. The rod to the accelerator pedal runs free through a hole in the handle. To accelerate, use the thumb to press on the button that sits on the rod.<br \/>\nThe hand control unit is used together with the cruise control, which sits on the wheel.<br \/>\nThe control unit can be turned to the side to keep them out of the way when moving in and out of the car.<br \/>\nIt takes about 10 minutes to install the hand control unit. The control unit fits almost all cars with automatic transmission.<\/p>\n<p>Model: LYNX control<\/p>\n<p class=\"bkom\"><strong>Users comments<\/strong><br \/>\nThe user brings the control unit with him when he travels.
