Steering Wheel: Description and Operation

System Diagram





System Description
The heated steering wheel switch controls the heated steering relay. When the switch is turned on, the relay is energized and the heated steering system will operate. The heated steering system will turn off when the steering wheel temperature reaches approximately 30°C (86°F). Heated steering system operation can also be canceled by pressing the heated steering wheel switch again.

NOTE: The heated steering system will operate ONLY when the steering wheel surface is below approximately 20°C (68°F). If the weather is warm enough, the heated steering system may not turn on, giving the appearance that the system does not operate.
