Heated Steering Wheel

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Lincoln MKC. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When the HSWM receives a request to heat the steering wheel, the HSWM applies voltage and ground to the steering wheel heating element (integral to the steering wheel) to heat the steering wheel to a temperature of approximately 28-34 °C (82-94 °F). The heated steering wheel temperature is maintained by the HSWM using a temperature sensor within the steering wheel.

The HSWM is designed to remain on, heating the steering wheel and maintaining the temperature until switched off using the FDIM (touchscreen) or the ignition is turned off.

The controls and indicators for the heated steering wheel system only display on the FDIM (touchscreen). The FDIM is connected directly to the APIM and does not communicate on any network.
