System Description (Heated Steering Wheel)INFOID:0000000006225581
The heated steering wheel switch controls the heated steering wheel relay. When the heated steering wheel
switch is turned on, the heated steering wheel relay is energized and the heated steering wheel system will
operate. The heated steering wheel system will turn of f when the heated steering wheel temperature reaches
approximately 30 °C (86 °F). Heated steering wheel system operati on can also be canceled by pressing the
heated steering wheel switch again. In addition, the heat ed steering wheel switch incorporates a timer and
turns OFF the heated steering wheel relay to exit the heated steering wheel system when the operating time
reaches a certain time.
NOTE:
If the surface temperature of the steering wheel is below 20 °C (68 °F), the system will heat the steering wheel
and cycle off and on to maintain a temperature above 20 °C (68 °F). The indicator light will remain on as long as
the system is on. Push the switch again to turn t he heated steering wheel system off manually. The indicator
light will go off.
