Yes I know it's been about before but have a query ????
My cx3 heats up the steering wheel for around 3 min then goes off for 30min ????
The wifes new sport black comes on and stays on until switched off ???? Puzzled. :?: :?: :?:

Hi Tino,

Really don't know why they are different! I would just be happy I had a heated wheel, even if it was only for 3 minutes. Mine was pre-heated steering wheels so any advance is very appreciated. If I was you I would just be happy to have warm hands for 3 mins and then turn it on again if you need it. Chill out!

I think you need to check again. They have exactly the same control module and it modulates the power to stop it overheating.

mines comes on and warms up nicely, then starts to cool off after a few mins. never gets cold, but certainly does drop off quite a bit. No where near 30mins.....maybe 2-3mins

Why is it necessary any way after the cabin has warmed up?

I have Neuropathy in my finger and I find the warmth great, mine goes off after 3 or 4 minutes which by that time I am toasty warm :D

The best ever addition to the CX-3 is the heated steering wheel. I used to suffer a lot with very painful fingers during the winter. This is amazing.
It is obviously thermostatically controlled. It comes on, heats my fingers then switches off, cools down and then comes back on again. Love it, love it, love it! :D

I agree. The heated s/wheel is a brilliant bit of kit. On cold winter mornings when my fingers are freezing after scraping frosty windows I can drive off with my hands being nicely warmed up.........lovely.
