Customizing AMG steering wheel button assignments allows you to tailor the controls to suit your preferences and improve driving convenience. Many AMG models offer customizable buttons that can be mapped to specific functions such as adjusting performance settings, controlling media, or accessing vehicle features.

Here's how to customize AMG steering wheel button assignments:

1. Check for Customization Options in the Vehicle's Settings Menu

Many AMG vehicles provide a customization menu within the infotainment or vehicle settings, where you can assign specific functions to the steering wheel buttons. These settings are often found under the Vehicle, Driving, or Steering Settings sections of the infotainment system.

Steps to Access the Menu:

1. Turn on the vehicle and access the infotainment screen (such as MBUX for newer models).
2. Navigate to the "Settings" or "Vehicle" menu.
3. Look for an option like "Steering Wheel Controls", "Button Customization", or "Personalization".
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to assign various functions to the available buttons.

2. Assign Functions to Steering Wheel Buttons

In the customization menu, you’ll typically have the option to assign functions such as:

• Drive modes (e.g., Comfort, Sport, Race, etc.)
• Suspension settings (e.g., adjustable suspension firmness)
• Traction Control (e.g., AMG traction modes)
• Volume and media controls
• Navigation commands
• Adaptive cruise control and lane assist features
• Performance data access (e.g., AMG Track Pace)

Steps to Customize:

1. Select the specific button you want to customize (e.g., the left or right buttons, or those on the spokes).
2. Choose from the available functions or features to assign to that button.
3. Confirm your selections and save the custom settings.

3. Customize AMG Drive Programs (If Available)

Some AMG vehicles allow for specific drive-related functions to be assigned to steering wheel buttons. This can include:

• AMG Dynamic Select modes (e.g., Comfort, Sport, Sport+, Race, etc.).
• Suspension adjustments.
• AMG-specific features such as AMG Drift Mode (for performance driving).

Steps for Customizing Drive Programs:

1. Go to the AMG-specific settings within the infotainment system.
2. Assign each mode to a button on the steering wheel.
3. Confirm the settings, and the changes will take effect immediately.

4. Use the AMG Performance or Info Display for Real-Time Data

AMG vehicles equipped with performance-oriented systems often allow the driver to display key information (e.g., lap times, engine stats, or tire pressures) on the digital instrument cluster or head-up display.

• Some steering wheel buttons can be customized to switch between real-time data displays, such as AMG Track Pace or performance metrics.
• You may be able to assign buttons to toggle between different data points, making it easy to monitor performance while driving.

5. Save Driver Profiles for Quick Access

If your AMG vehicle supports driver profiles, you can create customized profiles that include your preferred steering wheel button settings. This allows you to save your custom button assignments and quickly revert to them when needed.

Steps to Create a Driver Profile:

1. Access the Driver Profile settings in the infotainment system.
2. Select "Create New Profile" or "Edit Existing Profile".
3. Customize your steering wheel button assignments along with other settings (such as seat position, climate control, etc.).
4. Save the profile, and it will be automatically loaded the next time you enter the vehicle.

6. Use the Mercedes-Benz App for Remote Customization

Some AMG vehicles equipped with MBUX or Mercedes Me connectivity allow you to customize steering wheel button functions remotely using the Mercedes-Benz app.

Steps for Remote Customization:

1. Open the Mercedes-Benz app on your smartphone.
2. Navigate to the vehicle settings section.
3. Look for steering wheel button assignments and adjust them based on your preferences.
4. Sync the changes to your vehicle once the customization is complete.

7. Factory Reset (If Necessary)

If you want to revert to the default settings for the steering wheel button assignments, most AMG vehicles allow you to reset the controls.

How to Reset:

1. Go to the Settings menu in the infotainment system.
2. Select Reset to Factory Settings or Default Controls.
3. This will return all the buttons to their original functions.

Key Points to Keep in Mind:

• Customizable button functions vary depending on the AMG model and year.
• Access the customization menu either through the infotainment screen or vehicle settings.
• Functions like Drive Mode, Suspension Settings, and Performance Metrics can be assigned to steering wheel buttons.
• Driver Profiles can save and recall your button assignments.
• Some models support customization via the Mercedes Me app or remote features.

By following these steps, you can personalize your AMG steering wheel buttons to quickly access your favorite functions and improve your driving experience.
