Dodge Charger: STEERING WHEEL / Heated Steering Wheel — If Equipped
The steering wheel contains a heating element that helps warm your hands in cold
weather. The heated steering wheel has only one temperature setting. Once the heated
steering wheel has been turned on, it will stay on for an average of 80 minutes
before automatically shutting off. This time will vary based on environmental temperatures.
The heated steering wheel can shut off early or may not turn on when the steering
wheel is already warm.
The heated steering wheel control button is located within the Uconnect system.
You can gain access to the control button through the climate screen or the controls
screen.
- Press the heated steering wheel button once to turn the heating element
on.
- Press the heated steering wheel button a second time to turn the heating
element off.
NOTE:
The engine must be running for the heated steering wheel to operate.

WARNING!
- Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced
age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medica- tion, alcohol use,
exhaustion, or other phys- ical conditions must exercise care when using the
steering wheel heater. 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 steering wheel covers of any type and material. This
may cause the steering wheel heater to overheat.
