How to Turn Off the Steering Wheel Heating in Trumpchi GS8?
2 Answers
To turn off the steering wheel heating in Trumpchi GS8, simply press the heating button on the steering wheel. The steering wheel is connected to the steering shaft via splines, and its function is to convert the force applied by the driver on the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. The Trumpchi GS8 is a seven-seat SUV. Taking the 2021 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4835mm, width 1910mm, height 1785mm, with a wheelbase of 2800mm. The 2021 Trumpchi GS8 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 185kW and a maximum torque of 390Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
When driving my Trumpchi GS8, I frequently use the steering wheel heating function, and the method to turn it off is straightforward. There's usually a button with a heat source icon on the side of the steering wheel, located at the lower left or right side; when activated, the light indicates heating is on, and pressing it once to turn off the light deactivates the heating. If you can't find the button, you can check the instrument panel or central control screen: enter the vehicle settings menu, find the comfort control options, and select the steering wheel heating switch to turn it off. Be careful not to press and hold the button to avoid accidentally activating other functions. Using the heating in winter keeps your hands warm, but turning it off when not needed in summer saves power and is safer, also preventing excessive wear on the steering wheel. Regularly check if the button is stuck, and if there are any issues, visit the 4S store for an early inspection.
