Heated Steering Wheel

Heated Steering Wheel (Optional)

The sports and multi-function steering wheel can be equipped with steering wheel heating if the vehicle is equipped with heated seats. The heating for the steering wheel rim can be switched on and off separately using a button on the 6 o'clock spoke (subject to enabling by the energy management system).

NOTE: The sports steering wheel with shift paddles is not available with steering wheel heating.

When the heated steering wheel is activated, the temperature of the steering wheel rim is kept constant at 95 °F. (35 °C.) by the combined steering column module (CSCM) via a temperature sensor.

Function:

After activation by the button on the 6 o'clock spoke, the "Heated steering wheel active" request is received by the combined steering column module (CSCM) (conventional signal). The NTC signal from the temperature sensor in the steering wheel rim is now sent to the CSCM and is evaluated by it. The CSCM supplies current to the heating foil/heating fabric on the steering wheel rim in accordance with this value.
