Yes, the AMG Performance Steering Wheel in the Mercedes-Benz G-Class W465 offers the option to display turn-by-turn navigation on its steering wheel display. This feature is part of the digital cockpit experience and is particularly useful for reducing distractions by keeping important navigation details within the driver’s direct line of sight.
How Turn-by-Turn Navigation Works on the Steering Wheel Display:
-
Display on the Wheel:
- The steering wheel features an integrated digital display (usually within the center or left/right sections of the wheel) that can show navigation instructions.
- The display will typically show crucial information like the next turn, distance to the next turn, and sometimes even lane guidance or street names.
-
Head-Up Display Integration:
- In addition to the steering wheel's display, for vehicles equipped with a head-up display, turn-by-turn directions can also be projected onto the windshield in the driver’s line of sight. This makes it even easier for the driver to stay focused on the road while receiving navigation cues.
-
Control Through Steering Wheel:
- The steering wheel's controls allow the driver to adjust navigation settings, like volume for navigation voice prompts or changing map views (e.g., full-screen or turn-by-turn).
- The buttons on the wheel can also be used to confirm destinations, zoom in/out of the map, or switch between navigation modes.
This system is designed to provide clear, concise navigation information without distracting the driver from the road, ensuring both convenience and safety, especially on longer trips or in urban environments.
