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
temperature. 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.
