Heated Steering Wheel

The heated steering wheel system consists of the following components:

• Heated steering wheel (with integral heating elements and temperature sensor)
• HSWM
• Heated steering wheel buttons and indicators.

The buttons and indicators for the heated steering wheel system are located in the FDIM (touchscreen) only. When activated, the HSWM activates the steering wheel heater elements, which heats the steering wheel and maintains a temperature of approximately 28-34 °C (82-94 °F) until switched off on the FDIM or the ignition is turned OFF.

The heated steering wheel can be set to activate (configured through the IPC) when the vehicle is remotely started. During a remote start event, heated steering wheel activation depends on the ambient temperature of the vehicle and climate strategy of the HVAC module.
