The 2023 XT5 and XT6 are available with two heated steering wheel options. These include the manual heated steering wheel (RPO UVD) and the automatic heated steering wheel (RPO KI3).
Some customers may note that on vehicles with RPO UVD that the heated steering wheel does not operate during a remote start. The manual heated steering wheel operates once the ignition is on and the heated steering wheel button on the steering wheel controls is pressed. (Fig. 20) This operation is by design for the manual heated steering wheel (RPO UVD) and it will not turn on automatically during a remote start. There is not an option for a vehicle built with RPO UVD to be retrofitted with an automatic heated steering wheel.

Vehicles built with RPO KI3 can set the automatic heated steering wheel to turn on along with the heated seats during a remote start by going to the Vehicle Settings menu on the infotainment screen. RPO KI3 is standard equipment on vehicles equipped with Super Cruise or the Platinum Package.
