Just chiming in to say that I'm on day number 4 with my new red Trailhawk V6, and I'm just loving it so far. SO impressed with this vehicle. The ride is smooth and quiet (more so than the Dodge Journey R/T I traded in). It's luxurious, comfortable, and brimming with technology. The 8.4 head unit is beautiful and intuitive. Love the cold weather group! My butt is toasty on the leather seats and the heated steering wheel kicked on last night for the first time, and it's just SO COOL (in a warm kind of way)! Just LOVE it!

That is all.

I was a bit surprised when my steering wheel turned on automatically as well when it got down to 25 degrees last week. I was driving and wondering why the steering wheel felt so toasty. Then I looked at the display and saw it was on. Never had a heated steering wheel before.

I agree with you. This is my first Jeep and am very impressed with everything, interior and exterior! Who needs a Rover!

Now you are making me feel quite jealous with your glowing report.

Glad you're liking it! I have never had a heated steering wheel either and thought it was cool when I did the test drive. Didn't know it came on automatically though.

Can you disable that? Or have it come on at a different temperature?

You can enable or disable both the automatic heated steering wheel/seats in the menu on the console.

Going to use your jeep to get out to the wild then not want to get out. To nice inside. Hahaha!

Good feature to have.
This along with cabin heat should be something that comes on automatically, if they can have sensors for auto headlamps they can have them for many other things.

I can confirm that they do only come on automatically when it is cold out, along with the heated seats. Not sure what that temperature is though.

You can disable that if you want by going into the climate menu, and then comforts submenu. Then just turn off the wheel and seats.

I'm pretty sure the owners manual says that auto setting engages if outside temp is 40 or less.

Guessing mine will never come on living in Vegas...which is ok, but wife loves having heated seats or tushy warmer as she puts it.

You could move to Michigan. It is 29 degrees fahrenheit at the moment. My heated steering wheel and heated seats both came on and felt mighty good.

steering wheel has only one set temperature (not sure what it is though)

auto-on for steering wheel and seats is controlled via Uconnect radios.
