Touch this icon to switch the
heated steering wheel on and
off. It takes about 5 minutes to
warm the steering wheel to 74°F
(23°C) in temperatures as low
as -4°F (-20°C). The wheel
maintains an approximate
temperature of 90°F (32°C) and
operates independently from the
heated seats and other
climate-control functions. The
heating element is in between
the leather covering and foam
core to help provide maximum
heat without adversely affecting
the feel of the steering wheel.
Note: The heated steering wheel
may remain on after remote
starting the vehicle, based on
your remote start settings. The
heated steering wheel may also
turn on when you start your
vehicle, if it was on when you
switched your vehicle off.
Note:
For steering wheels with
wood trim, the heating feature
will not heat the wheel between
the 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock
positions.
