How do I switch on the steering wheel heating in my MINI Countryman (2023)?

In your MINI Countryman (2023) with the option "Steering wheel heating" (SA 248), the automatic programme of the air conditioning automatically switches on the steering wheel heating depending on the outside and interior temperature and the individual preferences selected in the climate settings. Alternatively, you can switch the steering wheel heating on or off manually in the Climate menu or through the MINI Intelligent Personal Assistant. For more information on operating the steering wheel heating, please refer to the MINI Driver's Guide app or the Owner's Handbook for your MINI.
