Activating AMG Comfort Settings using the steering wheel involves using specific controls integrated into the wheel, which are designed to allow quick adjustments to the vehicle’s comfort-related features. AMG vehicles, known for their high-performance capabilities, offer a range of comfort settings that can be adjusted based on driving preferences, ensuring an optimal balance between luxury and performance.

Here’s how you can activate AMG Comfort Settings through the steering wheel controls:

1. Locate the AMG Comfort Button on the Steering Wheel

• Comfort Mode Button: Some AMG vehicles come equipped with a dedicated button on the steering wheel that allows you to directly toggle between different driving modes, including Comfort Mode. This button is typically located on the left side of the steering wheel or in close proximity to the main wheel hub.
  • The button may feature an icon that represents comfort, such as a seat or a ride control symbol.
• Mode Selector: If there isn’t a dedicated Comfort button, there may be a mode selector (like the Dynamic Select button) that toggles through various driving modes (Comfort, Sport, Sport+, etc.).

2. Using the Steering Wheel to Activate Comfort Mode

• Press the Comfort Button: When you press the Comfort Mode button, the car's suspension, steering, and other systems are adjusted to provide a softer ride, less road noise, and a more relaxed driving experience. This setting is typically used for regular city driving or long-distance cruising.
• Comfort Mode Activation: In many AMG vehicles, pressing the Comfort Mode button will also adjust features such as:
  • Suspension: Softens the suspension for a smoother ride.
  • Throttle Response: The throttle becomes less aggressive for more relaxed acceleration.
  • Transmission: Shifts are softer and less responsive, prioritizing comfort over performance.
  • Steering: The steering becomes lighter and more effortless for easier maneuvering.

3. AMG Dynamic Select System

• Dynamic Select Button: For AMG vehicles equipped with Dynamic Select, you can use the steering wheel controls to toggle between Comfort, Sport, Sport+, or Individual modes. This system manages various aspects of the vehicle’s performance, including the suspension, engine, steering, and transmission.
• Activate Comfort Mode: Press the Dynamic Select button (usually found near the center or on the left side of the steering wheel) to access the driving mode options. Rotate or press the button to select Comfort Mode. When activated, the car will prioritize comfort and fuel efficiency over performance.

4. Adjust Steering Feel

• Steering Wheel Controls: In certain AMG models, the steering wheel itself may offer the ability to adjust the steering feel. This can be useful if you want to fine-tune the comfort of the vehicle to your preferences.
• Steering Wheel Buttons: The steering wheel may have buttons that allow you to adjust the steering stiffness, making the wheel lighter or heavier for better comfort. In Comfort Mode, the steering will generally be set to the softest setting.

5. Access Comfort Features through the Infotainment System (Via Steering Wheel Controls)

• Infotainment Navigation: If the vehicle’s comfort features are integrated with the infotainment system, use the steering wheel-mounted scroll wheel, buttons, or touchpad to navigate through the system to activate or fine-tune comfort-related settings.
• Select Comfort Features: In the infotainment menu, look for settings related to seat adjustments, ambient lighting, climate control, and other features that can enhance comfort. Use the steering wheel controls to adjust the seat settings, seat heating, or even the car’s internal climate to match the comfort preferences.

6. AMG Ride Control Suspension

• Suspension Adjustments: For vehicles equipped with AMG Ride Control, the steering wheel can often control suspension settings directly. Press the suspension button or use the Dynamic Select system to set the suspension to a softer configuration, perfect for a more comfortable ride.
• Adjust Ride Quality: This control allows you to switch between different suspension stiffness levels, allowing the vehicle to offer softer, more cushioned driving characteristics ideal for comfort.

7. Activate Comfort Seat Settings (If Available)

• Seat Adjustments: Many AMG models allow for seat adjustments that include features like massage, lumbar support, or ventilation. These settings can be controlled via the infotainment system, but some AMG steering wheels feature quick-access buttons to activate these settings.
• Use the steering wheel controls to navigate through the seat settings or press a dedicated button if available, to activate comfort functions like seat heating, ventilation, or massage.

8. Voice Control (Optional)

• Voice Command Activation: If your AMG vehicle supports voice recognition, you can activate Comfort Mode or adjust comfort settings by simply pressing the voice control button on the steering wheel. For example, you can say “Activate Comfort Mode” or “Set Suspension to Comfort,” and the vehicle will adjust accordingly.

Summary of Steps:

1. Press the Comfort Button (or use the Dynamic Select button) on the steering wheel to activate Comfort Mode.
2. The vehicle’s suspension, steering, throttle, and transmission will adjust to prioritize a smooth, relaxing ride.
3. Adjust steering feel using the controls on the steering wheel if available.
4. Use steering wheel controls to access infotainment for further customization of comfort features, including seat adjustments and climate control.
5. In some models, the suspension or AMG Ride Control settings can be fine-tuned for a softer ride via the steering wheel.
6. Use voice control (if equipped) to quickly activate Comfort Mode or adjust other comfort settings.

The AMG steering wheel provides quick access to the vehicle’s comfort settings, ensuring a more relaxed and enjoyable driving experience without having to take your hands off the wheel or focus on the infotainment system.
