Problems with the steering wheel heating
Problem
Possible causes/consequences and M Solutions
If the steering wheel
heating indicator lamp
is flashing, the steering
wheel heating has
switched off
automatically.
The on-board voltage is too low because too many electrical
consumers are switched on.
X
Switch off electrical consumers that you do not need, such as
the rear window defroster or interior lighting.
Once the battery is sufficiently charged, the steering wheel
heating will switch back on automatically.
