CAUTION

  • Do not install any type of grip cover on the steering wheel, as it may impair the function of the heated steering wheel system.

  • When cleaning the heated steering wheel, do not use an organic solvent(such as paint thinner, benzene, alcohol or gasoline). Doing so may damage the surface of the steering wheel.

  • If the surface of the steering wheel is damaged by a sharp object, damage to the heated steering wheel components could occur.
