Heated Steering Wheel question

Hey everyone - I have a new 2023 All-Terrain Wagon that we ordered with the heated steering wheel option. However, the steering wheel only seems to get very mildly warm and definitely not hot (i.e., nowhere near as warm or as hot as the heated seats or heated armrests)…

For those of you with a heated steering wheel, how hot does yours get? I’m wondering if what I’m experiencing is normal or if there may be an issue?

Thanks!

Hope this helps.

Mine gets 'warm' but nowhere near as warm as the seats get on their highest setting. It is just enough to feel nice, but certainly no more than that.

Mine, too, gets warm, and I wouldn't want it any hotter as that could make it difficult to grip adequately for long periods, which might be dangerous in an emergency situation.
