Accessing AMG Multi-Terrain Drive Settings via the steering wheel involves using the AMG Dynamic Select or Drive Mode Selector integrated into the vehicle’s control system. This system allows you to adjust the settings for different road conditions, such as off-road, snow, or mud, for optimal performance in diverse terrains.

Here’s how you can access AMG Multi-Terrain Drive Settings through the steering wheel controls:

1. Locate the Steering Wheel Controls for Drive Mode Selection

In many AMG models, the steering wheel has dedicated buttons or a scroll wheel that lets you access various vehicle settings, including the Multi-Terrain Drive Modes.

  • Look for buttons or a scroll wheel on the left or right side of the steering wheel. These typically control the AMG Dynamic Select system or Drive Mode Selector.

2. Use the Steering Wheel Controls to Access Drive Modes

  1. Scroll or Press the Button: Use the scroll wheel or buttons on the steering wheel to cycle through the various drive modes available on your vehicle. Depending on your model, this could be done via:
    • A scroll wheel or up/down arrows to select modes.
    • A mode button or a dial to access different drive settings.
  2. Look for Multi-Terrain Settings: Once you cycle through the options, look for a drive mode related to multi-terrain settings, such as:
    • Off-Road mode
    • Mud or Sand mode
    • Snow mode
    • All-Terrain mode (if available)
    These modes are designed to optimize the vehicle’s handling for challenging terrains like dirt, mud, sand, snow, or gravel.

3. Select the Desired Multi-Terrain Mode

Once you’ve navigated to the Multi-Terrain Drive Settings menu, select the mode that matches the terrain conditions you’re driving on.

  • Off-Road Mode: Optimizes power distribution and traction control for rough, uneven surfaces.
  • Snow Mode: Adjusts throttle response, traction control, and torque distribution to handle icy or snowy conditions.
  • Mud or Sand Mode: Modifies throttle sensitivity and traction control to help the vehicle manage soft or slippery surfaces.

The steering wheel controls will allow you to easily switch between these modes, providing quick access to the optimal settings without having to use the main infotainment system.

4. Confirmation on the Display

Once you’ve selected your desired Multi-Terrain Mode, the vehicle’s instrument cluster or head-up display should show a confirmation of the selected mode. You’ll likely see the selected terrain mode icon or text (e.g., "Off-Road", "Snow", "Mud"), indicating that the vehicle has adjusted its settings accordingly.

5. Adjusting Other Settings (Optional)

Depending on your vehicle's features, you may also be able to fine-tune specific aspects of the multi-terrain settings via the steering wheel:

  • Traction Control: Some AMG models allow you to adjust the traction control or stability control system using the steering wheel buttons, providing finer control over how much intervention the vehicle applies in different terrains.
  • Suspension Settings: If your AMG is equipped with an adaptive suspension system, you might also be able to adjust the suspension stiffness to suit off-road conditions.

6. Switch Between Drive Modes

If you need to switch from Multi-Terrain Mode back to a more dynamic on-road mode (like Sport or Sport+), simply use the same steering wheel controls to scroll or select the preferred mode.

  • This allows for seamless transitions between terrain-specific modes and more performance-focused settings.

Conclusion

To access AMG Multi-Terrain Drive Settings via the steering wheel, locate the Drive Mode Selector or AMG Dynamic Select controls on your steering wheel. Use these controls to scroll through and select the appropriate terrain mode (e.g., Off-Road, Snow, Mud, etc.). Once selected, the instrument cluster or head-up display will confirm the active mode, optimizing the vehicle’s performance for different driving conditions. This setup offers convenience and immediate control over the vehicle’s drive settings, ensuring you can adapt quickly to changing road or off-road conditions.
