The steering wheel heating switch on the Envision is located in the left-hand control area of the multi-function steering wheel. Taking the 2021 Envision as an example, it is a mid-size SUV with body dimensions of 4694mm in length, 1839mm in width, 1686mm in height, a wheelbase of 2750mm, and a curb weight of 1610kg. The 2021 Envision features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 169PS, a maximum torque of 250Nm, and a maximum power of 124kW.
When driving the Buick Envision, the steering wheel heating switch is located in the small area on the left side of the steering wheel, usually a small button with a heating symbol icon. Just press it to activate the heating function, which is very convenient and practical, especially in cold winters when the steering wheel feels warm to the touch without any extra hassle. If the car is a mid-to-high trim model like the 2023 version, the function might also be integrated into the comfort settings menu on the central touchscreen. After opening the screen, look for vehicle settings and then select steering wheel heating. However, sometimes the button position can be a bit hidden, so it's recommended that owners check around the steering wheel before starting the car. If you still can't find it, you can refer to the user manual or ask a 4S store technician—safety first, after all. I’ve always found this feature super thoughtful, eliminating the need for thick gloves while driving and enhancing overall comfort.
I usually commute with the Enclave, and the steering wheel heating switch is located on the control panel on the left side of the steering wheel. There's a clearly marked heating icon button—just press it lightly to warm up. For newer models with touchscreen controls, you can enter the main menu and select the vehicle comfort function to turn it on. The operation is quite simple and especially useful for winter driving, as it warms your hands without waiting for the car to preheat. If the button feels awkwardly placed, it might be designed to avoid accidental presses—just pay attention to the upper-left area of the steering wheel. Overall, this feature helps reduce driving fatigue and is highly recommended.
My Envision is the touchscreen model, and the steering wheel heating function is directly controlled through the central screen. You can turn it on by entering the vehicle settings and finding the comfort option. The switch position is very intuitive on the display. Of course, some older models may still have physical buttons on the steering wheel.
