Finger-light

adjectiveShop talkAutomotive

Describes a steering system that requires almost no physical effort to turn.

A characteristic of highly boosted power steering setups where the steering wheel can be turned lock-to-lock with just a single finger. While it makes parking incredibly easy, overly boosted systems are often criticized by driving enthusiasts for lacking road feel and feedback at higher speeds.
