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 tem-
perature setting. Once the heated steering
wheel 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 within the Uconnect® system. You can
gain access to the control button through the
climate screen or the controls screen.
•
Press the heated steering wheel button
once to turn the heating element ON.
•
Press the heated steering wheel button
a
second time to turn the heating element OFF.
NOTE:
The engine must be running for the heated
steering wheel to operate.
WARNING!
•
Persons who are unable to feel pain to the
skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medi-
cation, exhaustion, or other physical con-
ditions must exercise care when using the
steering wheel heater. It may cause burns
even at low temperatures, especially if
used for long periods.
•
Do not place anything on the steering
wheel that insulates against heat, such as
a blanket or steering wheel covers of any
type and material. This may cause the
steering wheel heater to overheat.
