Problems with the steering wheel heating Problem
Possible causes/consequences and P Solutions
The steering wheel heat-
ing has switched off pre-
maturely or cannot 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 defroster or interior lighting.
