Heated Steering Wheel

The heated steering wheel system is designed to enhance the thermal comfort of the driver by heating the steering wheel, when desired. The steering wheel heating element is made of copper wire and is sandwiched between the leather and the substrate material of the steering wheel. A vehicle with a heated steering wheel can easily be identified by the heated steering wheel switch located in the U-Connect Touch ™ screen module, at the center of the instrument panel. When the heated steering wheel switch is pressed on, the heated steering wheel switch illuminates and an International Standards Organization (ISO) symbol appears in the top corner of the U-Connect Touch ™ screen module.
