Nissan LEAF 2023 Owners Manual
6.10.2.2. Heated steering wheel (where fitted)
The heated steering wheel system is designed to operate only when the surface temperature of the steering wheel is below approximately 20°C (68°F).
Push the heated steering wheel switch to warm the steering wheel when the power switch is in the ON position. The indicator light (1) on the switch will illuminate.
If the surface temperature of the steering wheel is below approximately 20°C (68°F), the system will heat the steering wheel and cycle off and on to maintain a temperature above 20°C (68°F). The indicator light will remain on as long as the system is on.
Push the switch again to turn the heated steering wheel system off manually. The indicator light turns off.
If the surface temperature of the steering wheel is above 20°C (68°F) when the switch is turned on, the system will not heat the steering wheel. This is not a malfunction.
If the outside temperature is low (approximately 10°C (50°F) or less) and the Climate Ctrl. Timer or Remote Climate Control (where fitted) are used, the steering wheel heater will automatically operate in the following conditions:
When using the Climate Ctrl. Timer: Operates from approximately 15 minutes before the set departure time until the set departure time.
When using Remote Climate Control (where fitted): Operates 15 minutes after Remote Climate Control starts.
