Controlling the Head-Up Display (HUD) via the steering wheel in a Mercedes-AMG vehicle offers a convenient and safe way to adjust key information without taking your eyes off the road. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to control the HUD through the steering wheel:

1. Locate the Steering Wheel Controls:

• Touch Control Pads or Buttons: Depending on the model, your AMG steering wheel may feature touch control pads or physical buttons located on the spokes of the wheel. These controls are used to interact with the vehicle’s infotainment system, including the HUD.
• Scroll Wheel: In some vehicles, a scroll wheel on the steering wheel can be used for navigating through menus.

2. Activate the Menu:

• Press the Menu Button: On some AMG steering wheels, there is a button marked “Menu” or “Settings” that brings up various settings on the digital display, including those for the HUD.
• Using the Touch Control Pad: If your steering wheel has a touch control pad (often located on the left or right side of the wheel), you can swipe up or down to navigate through the vehicle's settings and locate HUD options.

3. Navigate to HUD Settings:

• Use the Scroll Wheel or Pad to Select HUD: Once the menu appears, use the scroll wheel or the touchpad to scroll through the available settings until you find the Head-Up Display options.
• Select the HUD Settings: Depending on your vehicle’s setup, you can adjust the display settings, such as brightness, position, or content shown in the HUD.

4. Adjust HUD Display Options:

• Brightness: You can adjust the brightness of the HUD to ensure it is visible in various lighting conditions (daylight, nighttime).
• Position: You can move the HUD to adjust where it appears in your field of vision, usually up or down to match your seating position.
• Information Displayed: You may be able to choose what information is displayed, such as speed, navigation directions, driving modes, and other performance-related data.

5. Using the MBUX System (if applicable):

• If your AMG vehicle is equipped with the MBUX infotainment system, you may be able to access the HUD settings through the MBUX screen or through voice control.
• Voice Command: Say “Hey Mercedes, adjust the head-up display” or a similar command to quickly access the HUD settings through the voice control system. This will allow you to change the settings without manually using the steering wheel buttons.

6. Confirm Changes:

• Once you've made your desired adjustments to the HUD (such as brightness, position, or data displayed), confirm the changes either by pressing the OK button on the steering wheel or by simply exiting the menu.
• HUD Activation: The display should immediately reflect the changes you've made.

7. Test the Visibility:

• After adjusting the settings, ensure the HUD is positioned correctly in your line of sight and is easy to read without obstructing your view of the road. Make further adjustments if necessary.

Summary:

To control the HUD using the steering wheel in your AMG vehicle, use the steering wheel controls (buttons, touchpads, or scroll wheels) to navigate to the HUD settings and adjust the display’s brightness, position, and content. This feature ensures you can keep your focus on the road while easily accessing and adjusting key driving information in real-time.
