How to turn on steering-wheel heating in a Volvo EX60
The steering-wheel heater sits with the driver’s comfort controls rather than the general vehicle settings. Knowing that starting point avoids a search through unrelated steering or driver-assistance menus.
Checked against the US EX60 2027 manual on 27 October 2026. Match the controls to your car and use its current in-car instructions if a software update changes the screen.
Press the driver-side seat symbol in the bottom bar, then choose the preferred steering-wheel heating level. Automatic activation is available through climate settings.
Use the driver’s comfort controls
Make the adjustment before driving. Choose the driver-side seat symbol even though the part you want to warm is the steering wheel. That keeps the passenger seat’s controls separate from the driver’s heating choices.
Choose the heating level
Tick steps as you go. Your progress stays in this tab.
If the heater comes on without a manual selection
Check whether automatic activation is enabled before treating the behavior as a fault. If you want help with a repeat problem, note whether it happened after a cold start and which heating level or automatic setting was selected.
