Note:

This feature only functions when you switch the engine on.

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 in temperatures as low as -4°F.
The wheel maintains an approximate temperature of 90°F 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.
