Enabling AMG High-Performance Brake Settings via the steering wheel typically involves using specific AMG controls integrated into the vehicle's system. These settings allow drivers to fine-tune the braking system for different driving conditions, such as high-performance or track use. Here's a general guide on how to enable these settings via the steering wheel, keeping in mind that specific steps may vary based on the model and year of the AMG vehicle:

Steps to Enable AMG High-Performance Brake Settings:

1. Ensure the Vehicle is in the Correct Driving Mode:
   • AMG vehicles typically come with multiple driving modes such as Comfort, Sport, Sport+, and Race. The High-Performance Brake Settings may be activated or adjusted when the vehicle is in more aggressive modes like Sport+ or Race, which are tailored for high-performance driving.
   • To switch modes, use the AMG DRIVE UNIT on the steering wheel or the Dynamic Select button (if available) to change the mode.
2. Activate via AMG Performance Button:
   • If your vehicle is equipped with an AMG Performance button on the steering wheel, this button is likely used to toggle between different performance settings, including braking.
   • Press the AMG Performance button to bring up the settings menu on the MBUX infotainment screen or instrument cluster.
   • From the menu, navigate to the brake settings, where you can activate options like AMG Performance Braking or adjust brake force distribution.
3. Adjust Brake Settings via Steering Wheel Controls:
   • On certain AMG models, there are paddle shifters or additional buttons on the wheel that allow you to adjust performance settings, including brake regeneration and brake response.
   • Look for any buttons on the steering wheel's left or right spoke that have icons like brake discs or brake force. These may control the brake settings directly.
4. Use the MBUX or Instrument Cluster for Fine-Tuning:
   • If the vehicle has a MBUX system, you can navigate through the vehicle settings on the screen. You can use steering wheel touchpads or buttons to scroll through menus and select the AMG high-performance braking settings.
   • Some models might allow you to fine-tune parameters like brake feel, regen braking, or track brake bias directly from the display or via the steering wheel controls.
5. Confirm Activation:
   • After enabling the brake settings, a confirmation may appear on the instrument cluster or MBUX screen. The system may show you the status of the brake settings, including whether they’re optimized for performance or track use.

Additional Notes:

• AMG Dynamic Brake Control: In AMG vehicles, braking can be tied to the overall vehicle dynamics. If your vehicle includes AMG Dynamic Brake Control, this setting optimizes braking performance by adjusting the brake force and balance in response to driving behavior. This can be activated alongside high-performance driving modes.
• Race Mode or Track Mode: In some cases, Race Mode or Track Mode can automatically adjust the brake settings for optimal performance. This mode ensures that the braking system is ready for high-speed cornering and aggressive deceleration.

Conclusion:

To enable AMG High-Performance Brake Settings via the steering wheel, you typically need to switch to an appropriate driving mode (like Sport+ or Race) and use the AMG Performance button or specific controls integrated into the wheel. Depending on the model, you may also need to interact with the MBUX system or instrument cluster to confirm and fine-tune the settings. These adjustments enhance braking performance for more aggressive driving or track conditions, providing optimal control and stopping power.
