To activate or adjust the AMG stability programs (such as AMG Traction Control or AMG Dynamic Stability Control) via the steering wheel buttons, follow these steps:

1. Locate the AMG Stability Control Button

The AMG stability control systems are typically activated through a dedicated button on the steering wheel or on the center console of AMG vehicles. On certain AMG models, the steering wheel buttons allow for quick access to these features, but the exact button may vary depending on the specific model and year.

Button Details:

• The stability control button may be labeled "ESP" (Electronic Stability Program), "TRACTION", or "AMG Traction" on some AMG vehicles.
• It may also be found on the left or right side of the steering wheel, near the menu control buttons.

2. Press the Button to Activate or Adjust Stability Control

The main functions of the AMG stability programs that you can control through the steering wheel buttons are:

• AMG Traction Control: This system provides multiple levels of traction control, typically in wet or low-grip conditions, which you can adjust to your driving preferences. Higher levels of traction control reduce slip, while lower settings allow for more slip for more sporty driving.
• AMG Dynamic Stability Control (DSC): This system can be fully deactivated for high-performance driving, where the driver wants more control over vehicle dynamics.

Steps to Activate or Adjust:

1. Press the AMG stability control button on the steering wheel to activate or deactivate the system.
2. AMG Traction Control or Dynamic Stability Control will be adjusted according to your preference. If your vehicle has adjustable levels, pressing the button repeatedly may cycle through different settings.
   • For example, you may have levels 1, 2, and 3 of traction control, where level 1 allows for more slip and higher performance, while level 3 is the most restrictive for better stability.
3. You may also see an indicator light or message on the instrument cluster indicating the current status of the stability program (on or off, or the level of traction control).

3. Deactivating the System

• If you want to completely turn off stability control, press and hold the stability control button on the steering wheel (if the system allows it). Some AMG models offer full deactivation for track driving or when more freedom for the driver is desired in extreme performance situations.

4. AMG Dynamic Select Mode Adjustment

Some AMG vehicles allow you to adjust the level of stability control by changing the driving mode through the steering wheel buttons.

• For example, switching to a Sport or Race mode might decrease the intervention of the stability control, allowing for more dynamic handling.
• Conversely, switching to a Comfort or Eco mode may increase stability control intervention to ensure a safer and smoother drive.

How to Use the Steering Wheel:

1. Press the Mode button on the steering wheel.
2. Cycle through the available driving modes (Comfort, Sport, Sport+, Race, etc.).
3. The system will adjust its performance characteristics, including traction control and stability management, based on the selected mode.

5. Visual Indicators

After activating or adjusting the AMG stability programs using the steering wheel buttons, check the instrument cluster or head-up display to verify the system’s status.

• Traction Control settings are typically displayed as an icon on the display, often showing a car with a skidding symbol or a brake indicator.
• When you deactivate the Dynamic Stability Control, you might see a warning that indicates the system is off, signaling that you are now in a more driver-controlled mode.

Summary:

1. Use the AMG stability control button on the steering wheel to activate or adjust the traction control or Dynamic Stability Control.
2. Press the button to toggle between different levels or to deactivate the system entirely.
3. In some AMG vehicles, the Dynamic Select button on the steering wheel can help adjust stability settings by switching driving modes.
4. Check the instrument cluster for visual indicators of the current stability program status.

These steps will help you activate and adjust AMG stability programs through the steering wheel controls, allowing you to tailor the vehicle's handling characteristics to your driving conditions and preferences.
