Kia Cee'd: Steering wheel / Heated Steering wheel Description and operation

"The heated steering wheel features an internal heating element that maintains the steering wheel temperature to a consistent level during cold seasons.

The steering wheel heater element is connected through a wire harness and regulated through an electronic control module.The control module responds to a temperature sensor’s (negative temperature coefficient - NTC thermistor) resistance change, which is in direct contact with the steering wheel heater element."
