How Does a Heated Steering Wheel Work?
Grabbing a cold steering wheel on a chilly day is something we don’t have to deal with anymore if your car is properly equipped. One of the most common features people look for in a pre-owned platform from Davey Auto Sales is a heated steering wheel. This incredible innovation is so simple that it seems impossible that it took so long for automakers to implement it.
Basically, a heated steering wheel is nothing more than a thin heating element wire wrapped around the circumference with a cushion to separate it from the driver’s hands. The heating element is made from wires or carbon fibre filament. Some models even allow the driver to adjust how hot the steering wheel gets.
How Do Heated Car Seats Work?
There might not be a better way to warm your body up than cranking up a vehicle’s heated seats. Like the heated steering wheel, heated seats are a simple but incredibly effective feature that people seek out. Vehicles equipped with heated seats have an electric heating element that runs through various portions of the seat. The seat’s cushions and other materials radiate the heat to give people a comfortable experience.
Some heated seats are adjustable to ensure the people sitting in them are as warm as they need to be.
