HEATED STEERING WHEEL SYSTEM


  1. OUTLINE


    1. A heated steering wheel system, which heats the entire circumference of the steering wheel, is used.

    2. According to the operation of the steering heater switch, this system keeps the steering wheel assembly surface at a designated temperature, enhancing driver comfort.

    3. The target temperature can be switched in 2 levels (LO or HI) when the system is in MANUAL mode, allowing for fine control. In addition, AUTO mode, which determines and controls the thermistor target temperature according to the target outlet temperature of the air conditioning system, is provided. Furthermore, the Lexus Climate Concierge is used where the heated steering wheel system and seat heater system automatically operate in conjunction with the air conditioning system, offering usability and comfort.
