  1. Put your car in accessory or ON mode.
  2. Press the small button with a steering wheel icon behind the left side of your steering wheel, which will turn on your heated steering wheel.
  3. To change the temperature settings, locate your climate control settings and press Menu.
  4. When you see Climate Functions, select Seat heating / Steering wheel heating then Driver.
