WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2012 Jaguar XFR, 2012 Jaguar XF, 2011 Jaguar XFR, 2011 Jaguar XF, and 2010 Jaguar XFR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The steering wheel heater has a single heat setting and is turned on/off on the home and climate control screens of the TSD. The on/off status of the steering wheel heater is relayed to the vehicle occupants through the TSD. When the ignition is switched off, the steering wheel heater will reset to off.
Power for the heater element is supplied by the central junction box (CJB) on receipt of a request from the automatic temperature control (ATC) module over the medium speed controller area network (CAN) bus. Temperature control for the heater element is provided by the steering wheel heater control module which receives a temperature feedback signal from a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor located within the steering wheel.
