Steering Wheel Heating

Steering Wheel Heating

General information

On sports cars, the sports steering wheel for PDK as well as the multi-function steering wheels for PDK, which are available on request, can come with steering wheel heating as an optional extra for greater comfort during the cold season.

Operating principle

Steering wheel heating can be switched on and off using a button on the 6 o'clock spoke of the steering wheel.







When steering wheel heating is activated, the message "Steering wheel heating ON" appears for approx. 2 seconds on the on-board computer in the instrument cluster.

The interior temperature sensor in the automatic air-conditioning operating panel is used as the basis for controlling steering wheel heating. The heating time is temperature- controlled via a variable timer.

When this system is deactivated, the message "Steering wheel heating OFF" appears briefly on the on-board computer.
