Heated Steering Wheel — If Equipped

Once the heated steering wheel has been turned on it will operate for approximately 58 to 70 minutes before automatically shutting off.

It may cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long periods.

• Do not place anything on the steering wheel that insulates against heat, such as a blanket or cushion.
