Which car models come with heated steering wheels?
1 Answers
Car models equipped with heated steering wheel function include Audi's A7, A8, S6, and S7, Kia Optima EX, Dodge Journey GT, Dodge Challenger SXT, Buick Regal Sportback, Jeep Cherokee, Nissan Altima (Teana), among others. Here is relevant information: 1. Practicality of heated steering wheels: Generally, the heated steering wheel function is found in higher-end vehicle configurations. During driving, the heating function can be controlled via a button on the steering wheel to turn it on or off. This feature is particularly useful in colder regions of the north. 2. Principle of heated steering wheels: The heating function works through resistance wires. Typically, a layer of resistance wire is embedded beneath the leather of the steering wheel. Power is supplied to the resistance wire through a connection at the base of the steering wheel and the rotating shaft, thereby heating the steering wheel. 3. Heating area of the steering wheel: Generally, in models with heated steering wheels, the heating area covers the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions—the areas where hands grip the steering wheel. This design simplifies the technology and significantly reduces production costs.
