Once you get older, have arthritis, and Raynauds, you will want the wheel on at 45 at least.This. In addition to the <40°F requirement, you also have to turn the feature on in the touch screen menu.
Not at this time. Could Joe make this a feature of the Tazer? Possibly. FCA doesn't allow it for liability I think. The heated steering wheel gets hot. If some moron activated that stuff while the interior was already hot on a very warm day, it could spell trouble. No need for it. I find 40 to be a great threshold.
I've actually been headed in to town and had my thumb lock up and give some hefty pain and gone out to my JT and turned the heated wheel on and realized - hey, my thumb feels fine now.
So driving it to town was like therapy for my arthritis! Another excuse to drive it, I guess LOL
My wife turns hers on in her GC if it's 45 or below and I've had to manually turn mine on at 45 as well. It's one reason I wanted to trade vehicles - things like this for health.
(the seats in these trucks are among the best seats I have EVER set my sorry butt in - kudos to the Jeep team)
