Switch, Heated Steering Wheel: Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 RAM 2500 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The heated steering wheel switch allows the driver to turn on and off the heated steering wheel. The heated steering wheel will remain off until the driver presses the switch. Once the switch is pressed the Light Emitting Diode (LED) on the face of the switch will illuminate, indicating that the heating element in the steering wheel is operating. Pressing the switch while the heated steering wheel is on, will turn the heating steering wheel and the LED on the switch off.

The heated steering wheel switch also functions as a visual indicator for a fault with the heated steering wheel system. When the heated seat switch is pressed and a fault is present in the heated steering wheel system the LED on the switch will illuminate for 2 seconds, and then immediately turn off.
