Enabling AMG Track Pace features through the steering wheel controls allows you to monitor and optimize performance during track days or spirited driving sessions. AMG Track Pace is a feature available in certain AMG models that tracks lap times, analyzes driving performance, and offers data-driven feedback to enhance your driving experience on the track.

Here’s how you can enable and use AMG Track Pace through the steering wheel controls:

1. Locate the Track Pace Button (If Available)

• Some AMG vehicles have a dedicated button for AMG Track Pace on the steering wheel. This button might be labeled with a race flag, checkered flag, or the Track Pace logo.
• If your vehicle has this feature, simply press the button to activate Track Pace mode. Once activated, the system will be ready to record lap times and analyze performance.

2. Use the AMG Dynamic Select System

• If there isn’t a dedicated Track Pace button, the system can be accessed through the AMG Dynamic Select system, which can be controlled via the steering wheel buttons.
• Press the Dynamic Select button on the steering wheel to toggle between different driving modes. In many cases, the Track Mode is part of the AMG Dynamic Select options.
• Once Track Mode is activated, AMG Track Pace will also be enabled automatically, depending on the vehicle’s configuration.

3. Activate Track Mode through the Steering Wheel

• In Track Mode, you can access AMG Track Pace and start recording data like lap times, cornering forces, and other performance metrics.
• After entering Track Mode, use the steering wheel controls to navigate the menu on the instrument cluster or infotainment screen. This allows you to access Track Pace settings and performance data in real-time.

4. Track Pace Menu Access

• Once Track Mode is active, the system typically displays lap time data and performance metrics directly on the instrument cluster or on a dedicated display in the center console.
• If the vehicle has steering wheel controls for the infotainment system, you can use the buttons to scroll or select performance data related to lap times, acceleration, braking, and cornering forces.

5. Real-Time Data & Lap Time Recording

• While driving on the track, AMG Track Pace will start recording your lap times automatically. The system can even distinguish between different track layouts if the track is mapped into the system’s database.
• You can use the steering wheel controls to start/stop lap recording or toggle between lap times and other performance data, such as G-force or vehicle speed during turns.

6. Customize Track Pace Settings Using Steering Controls

• In some AMG models, the steering wheel can also be used to fine-tune performance settings during the track session. For example:
  • Adjust suspension settings to suit track conditions (harder for performance, softer for comfort).
  • Change traction control settings to allow more slip or to optimize performance for better lap times.
  • Adjust engine and transmission settings via AMG Dynamic Select.

7. Track Data and Performance Feedback

• After completing your track session, you can review your lap times and performance metrics, either directly on the instrument cluster or via the infotainment screen.
• You can use the steering wheel controls to scroll through different lap records and compare your performance across multiple laps.
• In some systems, AMG Track Pace can provide feedback on areas where you can improve, such as braking points, cornering speeds, or throttle application.

8. Export or Share Data (Optional)

• If your AMG vehicle has the option to export Track Pace data, this can typically be done through the infotainment system or via an AMG mobile app.
• In some cases, you may also be able to sync your data with a smartphone or share it with others, which can also be managed through the steering wheel controls if the system is connected to an app.

Key Steps for Activating AMG Track Pace Using the Steering Wheel:

1. Press the Track Pace button (if available) or activate Track Mode using the Dynamic Select button on the steering wheel.
2. Use the steering wheel controls to access the Track Pace menu on the instrument cluster or infotainment screen.
3. Start the lap time recording and monitor real-time data (e.g., lap times, speed, G-forces) using the steering wheel buttons.
4. Adjust settings (suspension, traction, engine) using the steering wheel to optimize performance during your track session.
5. Review lap times and performance data on the screen, using the steering wheel controls to toggle between different metrics.
6. Optionally, export data or sync with mobile apps to review and share your track performance.

Summary:

The AMG Track Pace feature is a great tool for serious drivers who want to monitor their performance during track days. The steering wheel controls provide easy access to Track Mode, lap timing, and performance analytics, helping drivers focus on both the track and their vehicle’s performance without distraction. By using the steering wheel, you can toggle between modes, start and stop lap timers, and adjust key performance settings to maximize your track experience.
