To access the AMG Race Timer data using the steering wheel controls in an AMG vehicle, you typically follow a set of steps that involve enabling the Race Mode or Performance settings and then using the steering wheel's integrated controls to display and manage the timer. Here's how you can do it:

1. Activate Race Mode

The AMG Race Timer is generally available when the vehicle is in a high-performance driving mode, such as Race Mode. This mode allows the car to track your lap times and performance metrics.

• Press the "AMG" or "Race" button located on the steering wheel or center console to switch to Race Mode. This will activate the AMG Performance functions, including the Race Timer.
• In some models, you can also enable Race Mode by selecting it through the driving mode selector (often found on the steering wheel or console).

2. Access the AMG Performance Display

Once Race Mode is activated, the Race Timer data can typically be viewed on the instrument cluster, head-up display, or infotainment screen. To access it via the steering wheel:

• Use the steering wheel’s controls (such as the scroll wheel or buttons) to toggle through the different performance displays. You may need to scroll through options until you reach the AMG Performance Display or Lap Timer.
• In some vehicles, you can directly access the Race Timer screen from the steering wheel by pressing a button dedicated to performance functions.

3. Start the Race Timer

• Once you're on the Race Timer screen, press the "Start" button (sometimes located on the steering wheel or the infotainment screen) to begin tracking lap times.
• The AMG Race Timer will now begin recording your lap times, showing real-time data on the display. You can typically see the current lap time, best lap time, and sometimes split times during your track session.

4. Monitor the Race Timer Data

While driving on the track:

• View real-time lap times on the instrument cluster or head-up display. The steering wheel buttons can help you toggle between different data sets (such as split times or best lap times).
• The AMG Performance Display or the instrument cluster will show your current lap, best lap, and possibly split times during each lap.

5. Stop the Race Timer

• When you're finished with your track session, press the "Stop" button on the steering wheel or the performance display to stop recording. You can then save or review your lap times and performance data.
• In some AMG models, the lap timer will automatically stop when the car slows down or comes to a stop.

6. Review the Data

After completing the session, you can review the lap data either on the instrument cluster, infotainment screen, or through the AMG Performance app (if available). Some AMG vehicles offer features that allow you to:

• Compare multiple laps.
• Review split times for each section of the track.
• Save the session data for later analysis.

Summary of Key Steps:

1. Activate Race Mode via the AMG button or driving mode selector.
2. Access the Race Timer via the steering wheel controls (use buttons or scroll wheel).
3. Start the Race Timer by pressing the "Start" button.
4. Monitor lap times and other performance data in real-time on the display.
5. Stop and review the lap times when you're finished with your session.

By using the steering wheel controls, you can easily toggle between settings and data without taking your hands off the wheel, ensuring a smooth and focused track experience.
