Problems with the steering wheel heating
Problem
Possible causes/consequences and
M
MSolutions The steering wheel heat-
ing has switched itself
off prematurely or can-
not be switched on. The on-board voltage is too low because too many electrical consum-
ers are switched on.
X Switch off electrical consumers that you do not need, such as the
rear window heating or interior lighting.
Once the battery is sufficiently charged, the steering wheel heating
will switch back on automatically. EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature
