The steering wheel heating button on the Hongqi HS5 is located on the left side of the steering wheel, marked with an icon of a steering wheel and three wavy lines. Taking the 2019 Hongqi HS5 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4760mm, width 1907mm, height 1700mm, with a wheelbase of 2870mm, a fuel tank capacity of 64 liters, and a curb weight of 1755kg. The 2019 Hongqi HS5 features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 224PS, a maximum power of 165kW, and a maximum torque of 340Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
The steering wheel heating button of my Hongqi HS5 is usually located on the left spoke area of the steering wheel. The icon looks like a small steering wheel with wavy lines or a heat symbol, and a light press can activate the heating function. It's especially useful on winter mornings—just place your hands on it and feel the warmth immediately, ensuring both comfort and safety. The position is ergonomically designed, allowing easy operation with just a slight finger movement without distracting you to search for the button. Remember not to turn it on immediately when the car is cold; let the engine run for a couple of minutes first to avoid overloading the electrical circuit. Also, avoid keeping it on for too long—about half an hour is sufficient to prevent overheating and damaging the internal wiring. During maintenance, I always remind the technician to check the connecting wires to ensure there's no aging issue, preventing button failure from affecting the driving pleasure.
The steering wheel heating button of the Hongqi HS5 is located near the steering wheel spokes, typically a small button with a heat-sensing icon, conveniently positioned for operation without taking hands off the wheel. Pressing it quickly and evenly heats up the wheel, making winter driving more comfortable. I often like to turn it on a few seconds before driving on icy days, and the steering wheel becomes warm and soft in no time. Compared to other models, Hongqi integrates the buttons well, but be careful not to press it by mistake or overuse it, which may cause wear and tear. If there's no response, it might be due to a blown fuse or system malfunction, so it's best to visit a service center promptly. Keeping the button clean is also important; regularly wipe it with a soft cloth to prevent dust buildup.
