Respectfully, “you’re doing it wrong.”
Volvo steering wheels are set up for 9 and 3, but you are supposed to hook your thumbs (9 and 3), not rest your lateral palms (10 and 2).

- a4isms 5y agoThere are some flat bulges at 10 and 2, and while I cannot hook my thumbs on them in any way, I can rest my thumbs on them if I put my hands at 9:30 and 2:30, instead of resting my hands on them at 10 and 2. If I put my hands right on 9 and 3, those bumps don’t come into play at all, but I suppose I could hook my thumbs around the wheel while resting my fingers on the backs of the button-festooned spokes, which are at 9 and 3 themselves. So yes, I can put my hands at 9 and 3 and ignore the bulges at 10 and 2. Or I can put them at 9:30 and 2:30 and rest my thumbs on the bulges. We’ll see how it goes unlearning 10 and 2.
