Heated steering wheel

Anybody else with the heated steering wheel option unable to get it to function? Voice command states function not available and it doesn’t work when linked to the heated seat function. The steering wheel on the center console shows red but there is no concomitant icon on the instrument panel and the wheel remains cold.
Thoughts or suggestions?

Are you sure you have it? It's not standard so it needs to be ordered as a stand-alone option or as part of the cold weather package.

Ask Hey Mercedes to turn on the heated steering wheel and if your EQS does not have one she will tell you it is not available on your vehicle. She can be brutally honest! 😊

I have tried asking Hey Mercedes and she does indeed say “function not available at this time.” However, my build sheet lists it as an independent option 443, heated steering wheel for $250. There is no delete so I should have it. 🤷🏽

If that’s the case, just take it to the dealer asap.

Yep, have it listed as an independent option and linked with a checkmark to my heated seat function. That screen shows a heated wheel in red but no confirmatory icon on the instrument panel and no warmth to the steering wheel. Weird.

Does anyone know if the 3 level heated seat function also heats the steering wheel 3 different levels? Or is the steering just one heat level? Thanks

No. The wheel has only one level as far as I know.

. She can be brutally honest! 😊[/QUOTE] She can even be polite. I requested a distination one time and she responded. I then out of the blue said "thank you', and she responded "your welcome'. I'm pretty sure it was the EQS but could have been the Tesla S I sold or even the S560. I was startled when she responded 'your welcome".
