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.

I prefer driving with minimal hassle, and the GS8's steering wheel heating switch is easy to operate. There's usually a small raised button on the steering wheel with an icon resembling a flame or wave—press it, and the light turns off when deactivated. Sometimes, the button is positioned near the paddle shifters, so a quick touch is all it takes. If pressing it doesn’t work, don’t rush to the central touchscreen: just swipe to the auxiliary functions tab on the main screen, tap the heating settings, and turn it off. Over time, you’ll notice that the system may automatically stop heating when the temperature gets too high, saving you manual effort. Turning it off conserves energy, protects the battery, and enhances safety in rainy or humid conditions. Keeping the button clean ensures durability.

It's normal for beginners to feel nervous when driving, but turning the GS8's steering wheel heating on and off is quite simple. I remember there's a button on the edge of the steering wheel—look for the one with a heat symbol. Press it lightly to toggle the heating on or off, indicated by the light turning on or off. It's usually located on the right side for easy operation. If it doesn't work the first time, try again, but avoid pressing too hard to prevent damaging the button. You'll get the hang of it after driving a few more times—just pay attention to the indicator light before and after pressing. Beginners often mistakenly activate other functions, so I recommend reading the manual before bed and saving screenshots on your phone for reference. For peace of mind, turning off the heating when not in use can extend the vehicle's lifespan.
