AMG Split-Power Mode is a driving mode available in some AMG models, designed to split power distribution between the front and rear axles (or wheels) for optimal performance under specific driving conditions. This mode is typically used to improve traction, handling, and stability, especially in high-performance or dynamic driving situations.

To activate and use AMG Split-Power Mode through the steering wheel, follow these general steps, which may vary slightly depending on your specific AMG vehicle model and system version.

Steps to Activate and Use AMG Split-Power Mode via the Steering Wheel:

1. Ensure the Vehicle is in Drive Mode
   • AMG Split-Power Mode is typically accessible only when the vehicle is in Drive mode. Ensure the vehicle is in gear or Drive mode before attempting to activate Split-Power.
2. Access Dynamic Select or Driving Mode Menu
   • AMG Dynamic Select is a system used to toggle between different driving modes, including AMG Split-Power Mode (if available).
   • On many AMG steering wheels, there is a Dynamic Select button or a driving mode dial that allows you to select from various driving modes, including Comfort, Sport, Sport+, and Race.
   Steps to access Split-Power mode:
   1. Press the Dynamic Select button on the steering wheel (or use the driving mode selector).
   2. Rotate or press the button to cycle through available modes. AMG Split-Power Mode might be found under a specific mode such as Race Mode or Performance Mode, depending on the vehicle.
   3. Select the mode that activates Split-Power, if available (it might be labeled as AMG Split Power, Torque Split, or something similar).
3. Adjust for Specific Performance Needs
   • In some AMG models, Split-Power Mode allows the driver to adjust the torque distribution between the front and rear axles, optimizing traction and performance based on road conditions or driving style.
   • The steering wheel may allow you to fine-tune how power is split between the front and rear axles, adjusting the balance between front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive (or in some cases, all-wheel drive systems).
   Steps for adjusting:
   1. Use the steering wheel controls to access specific settings within the Dynamic Select or performance settings.
   2. Choose a setting that suits your desired performance—whether it’s a more aggressive rear-wheel drive feel for enhanced driving dynamics or a more balanced front-to-rear torque split for stability.
4. Monitor Changes via Digital Display
   • As you select AMG Split-Power Mode, the digital instrument cluster or the infotainment display may provide feedback on the torque distribution, showing the split between front and rear axles.
   • Some vehicles also have real-time feedback on power distribution, which can be seen on the screen, helping the driver understand how the car is responding.
5. Driving in Split-Power Mode
   • Once AMG Split-Power Mode is activated, the vehicle will dynamically distribute power between the front and rear axles based on the driving conditions, such as acceleration, cornering, and road grip.
   • While driving in this mode, the vehicle may adjust to provide more power to the rear axle for sportier handling or more power to the front axle for stability, depending on conditions.
6. Deactivate or Switch Modes
   • To deactivate or switch out of AMG Split-Power Mode, simply press the Dynamic Select button again on the steering wheel or select another mode through the same system.
   • The steering wheel controls allow you to quickly change between modes while driving without needing to take your hands off the wheel.

Key Features of AMG Split-Power Mode via the Steering Wheel:

1. Torque Distribution Adjustment: The steering wheel or associated controls let you fine-tune the distribution of power to the front and rear axles.
2. Driving Mode Cycling: Use the Dynamic Select button to cycle through modes and activate Split-Power Mode.
3. Performance Feedback: The digital display provides real-time information about the torque split, helping you optimize your driving experience.
4. Improved Handling: The torque split is automatically adjusted based on driving conditions, enhancing cornering, stability, and acceleration.

Summary:

To activate AMG Split-Power Mode through the steering wheel:

• Use the Dynamic Select button to select the appropriate performance mode (e.g., Sport+, Race, or AMG Split-Power).
• Monitor the system’s feedback on the digital display for real-time torque distribution information.
• Enjoy enhanced handling, traction, and stability based on the dynamic power split between the front and rear axles.

This system helps the AMG vehicle maintain optimal performance and balance in a variety of conditions, whether on the track, on twisty roads, or in normal driving situations.
