System Description

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

The heated steering wheel switch controls the heated steering relay through the A/C auto amp. When the switch is turned on, the relay is energized and the heated steering system will operate. The heated steering system will turn off when the steering wheel temperature reaches approximately 30° C (86° F). Heated steering system operation can also be canceled by pressing the heated steering wheel switch again. If the surface temperature of the steering wheel is below 20° C (68° F), the system will heat the steering wheel and cycle off and on to maintain a temperature above 20° C (68° F). The indicator light will remain on as long as the system is on.

NOTE:

The A/C auto amp. is equipped with a 30-minute timer. After the heated steering wheel switch has been activated for 30 minutes, the system will automatically turn off. If the surface temperature of the steering wheel is above 20° C (68° F) when the switch is turned on, the system will not heat the steering wheel. This is not a malfunction.
