Heated Steering Wheel — If Equipped
The steering wheel contains a heating element that helps
warm your hands in cold weather. The heated steering
wheel has only one temperature setting. Once the heated
steering wheel switch
has been turned on, it will
operate for up to 80 minutes before automatically
shutting off. The heated steering wheel can shut off
early or may not turn on when the steering wheel is
already warm. The heated steering wheel control
button is located on the center of the instrument panel
below the climate controls.
Auto On Comfort — If Equipped
If the external temperature is below 41 °F (5 °C) at each
start-up of the vehicle the heated steering wheel func-
tionality is turned on.
