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 automati-
cally. The on-board voltage is too low because too many electrical con-
sumers are switched on.
X Switch off electrical consumers that you do not need, such as
the rear window heating or interior lighting.
Once the battery is sufficiently charged, the steering wheel
heating will switch back on automatically.
