Steering Wheel with a Sensor Structure for Detecting the Occupancy of a Heated Contact Surface, Steering Wheel System, and Method for Detecting the Occupancy of a Heated Contact Surface
A steering wheel is provided with a sensor structure for detecting the occupancy of a heated contact surface. The steering wheel includes a contact surface which forms at least one part of the outer layer of the steering wheel; a steering wheel frame; a sensor heating layer which is equipped with at least one sensor electrode for occupancy detection and at least one heating wire; and a potential layer which is arranged between the sensor heating layer and the steering wheel frame. A defined potential can be applied to the potential layer.
