Using the AMG steering wheel to access split-screen displays in your vehicle is a convenient way to manage multiple functions without having to take your hands off the wheel or divert your attention away from the road. In AMG vehicles with advanced infotainment and control systems, the steering wheel controls offer easy access to features like the split-screen display, which can show multiple pieces of information at once, such as navigation, media, performance data, and more.

Here’s how you can use the AMG steering wheel to access and control split-screen displays:

1. Locate the Steering Wheel Controls

• Control Buttons or Dials: AMG steering wheels usually come with buttons, touchpads, or dials on the left and right spokes of the wheel. These controls interact with the infotainment system or instrument cluster. In some cases, you might have a touch-sensitive pad on the wheel, or a scroll wheel and buttons that allow you to navigate the system.
• AMG-Specific Buttons: Look for any AMG-specific buttons (often on the right side of the wheel) that control system settings, including the Instrument Cluster display and Infotainment System.

2. Activate the Infotainment System

• Infotainment Screen: Make sure your infotainment screen or instrument cluster is on and active. You can turn on the screen by pressing a button on the steering wheel or using the ignition/start button if it’s off.
• Home Screen: If the display is already active, you should be on the home screen or the default display mode, which shows core information like navigation, music, and performance data.

3. Switch to Split-Screen Mode

• Using Steering Wheel Controls: To activate or toggle the split-screen mode, use the scroll wheel, buttons, or touchpad on the AMG steering wheel.
  • Scroll Wheel or Dial: Use the scroll wheel to navigate through the system menus. You may need to access the Display or Screen Settings tab and choose the option for split-screen mode.
  • Button for Display Modes: Some AMG vehicles have a dedicated button on the steering wheel to switch between various display modes, including split-screen mode. You can press this button to toggle between different screen layouts.
  • Touchpad: If your vehicle is equipped with a touchpad, you can swipe or tap it to go through different menus and select the split-screen option.

4. Adjust Split-Screen Layout

Once you have activated the split-screen display, you can adjust how the information is shown. Typically, the split screen allows you to view two or more types of data simultaneously.

• Adjust Layout: Use the scroll wheel or buttons on the steering wheel to change the layout. You can choose what information to display on each side of the screen, such as navigation, performance data, media, weather, or vehicle status.
  • For example, on the left side of the screen, you may have navigation, while the right side shows media or driving data such as engine performance, tire pressure, or fuel efficiency.
  • Some systems may allow you to customize the split screen layout, choosing which information to prioritize.

5. Access Specific Information

Once the split-screen display is active, you can use the steering wheel controls to select which specific information you want to see on each side of the screen.

• Performance Data: You can use the steering wheel controls to switch between performance-related information, such as lap timers, engine performance, or vehicle telemetry.
• Navigation & Media: You can display turn-by-turn navigation on one side while keeping media controls (such as radio, Bluetooth, or streaming services) on the other.

6. Switch Between Split-Screen and Full-Screen

• Toggle Full-Screen Mode: If you want to return to a full-screen display, you can use the steering wheel to toggle back to a single display view. This is usually done by pressing the same button used to initiate the split-screen function.
• Quick Access to Display Settings: Some AMG models also allow you to quickly toggle between different screen layouts directly from the steering wheel, making it easy to switch between split-screen, full-screen, or other display options.

7. Customize Display Settings (If Applicable)

• Infotainment Settings: In some AMG models, the steering wheel buttons will give you direct access to display settings in the infotainment menu, allowing you to fine-tune which types of data you want to see in split-screen mode.
  • Personalization: You may have options to rearrange the items in the split-screen or resize the sections to prioritize certain information.

Summary:

1. Activate the Infotainment System and navigate to the display settings.
2. Use the scroll wheel, buttons, or touchpad on the AMG steering wheel to select the split-screen mode.
