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

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.

steering wheel to operate.

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.
