Steering wheel heater (if equipped)

With the EV button in the on position, pressing the steering wheel heater button warms the steering wheel. The indicator on the button will appear.

  • Press the steering wheel heater button. When you press the steering wheel heater button, the indicator lights up and the steering wheel will warm.

  • To prevent low-temperature burns, the steering wheel temperature is automatically adjusted after the steering wheel heater is manually turned on.

    • When using the heated steering wheel in the 2nd level (strong), it automatically lowers to the 1st level (weak) after about 30 minutes.

    • If the user does not manually operate the steering wheel heater, it is maintained at the 1st level (weak) until the vehicle is turned off.

  • To turn off the steering wheel heater, press and hold the steering wheel heater button until the indicator light goes out.

CAUTION

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

  • When cleaning the steering wheel heater, 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 struck by a sharp object, damage to the steering wheel heater components or the steering wheel grip sensor could occur.

Steering wheel haptic warning

The driver assistance system's feature with steering wheel haptic warning warns the driver by vibrating the steering wheel when it detects a dangerous situation.

When the vehicle is in on position, select Setup → Vehicle → Driver Assistance → Warning Method → Haptic Warning on the infotainment system.

WARNING

If the steering wheel becomes too warm, turn the system off. The steering wheel heater may cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for a long time.

The steering wheel heater will turn off automatically approximately 30 minutes after the steering wheel heater is turned on.
