How to Turn Off Steering Wheel Heating in Tesla?

Tesla can turn on or off the steering wheel heating by pressing the steering wheel heating button. Introduction to Steering Wheel: The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, airplanes, etc. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque and then transmit it to the steering shaft. Functions of Steering Wheel: The steering wheel is generally connected to the steering shaft through splines, and its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque and then transmit it to the steering shaft. Using a larger diameter steering wheel reduces the hand force required by the driver when turning. The steering transmission shaft, as a connecting component between the steering gear and the steering shaft, facilitates the generalization of the steering gear, compensates for errors during manufacturing and installation, and makes the installation of the steering gear and steering wheel on the vehicle more reasonable.

I've been driving a Tesla Model Y for several years, and turning off the steering wheel heater is super simple: After getting in the car, tap the temperature settings area at the bottom of the center screen, look for the steering wheel heating icon (a small steering wheel with wavy lines), and press it once to turn it gray and deactivate it. Tesla's design is very intuitive—tap once to turn it on and tap again to turn it off, so there's no confusion. The heating feels great when it's cold in winter, but I manually turn it off when the weather warms up or during long drives to save battery, as the heater consumes power and affects the driving range. My personal habit is to turn it off when the temperature exceeds 15°C to avoid unnecessary energy waste. You can also turn it off anytime via the Tesla mobile app, which is very convenient. Overall, mastering this small trick makes driving more efficient and comfortable.

As a long-term Tesla owner, I must say turning off the steering wheel heater is quite easy. Simply operate it on the car's central screen: find the climate control in the main menu, then click the steering wheel heating button to turn it off—the icon is clear and easy to understand. After turning it off, you'll see the icon turn gray for confirmation. I've noticed that turning it off when the weather isn't too cold helps save battery, reduce vehicle load, and avoid sweaty hands. Combined with the air conditioning settings, the temperature automatically adjusts after heating is turned off. If you forget to turn it off, don’t worry—the system sometimes adjusts automatically based on external temperatures. This small feature is quite thoughtful, and it becomes second nature with daily use.

In my Tesla driving experience, turning off the steering wheel heating is quite simple. After getting in the car, tap the touchscreen, enter the temperature panel, locate the steering wheel icon, and lightly tap to turn it off. The icon color change indicates the status change. At first, you might not be familiar with the interface, but you'll get used to it after a few tries. It's best to turn it off in warm weather to save power and extend the equipment's lifespan. Tesla's controls are intuitive and user-friendly.
