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 an average of 80 minutes or
more before automatically shutting off. This time
may vary depending on the environmental tempera-
ture. 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.
