To use the AMG Steering Wheel Button to activate Race Mode in an AMG vehicle, follow these general steps:

1. Ensure the Vehicle is in the Correct Mode

  • Before engaging Race Mode, ensure that your vehicle is in AMG DYNAMIC SELECT mode or an equivalent performance mode. This may include settings like Comfort, Sport, Sport+, and Race.
  • For some models, Race Mode may require the vehicle to be in Sport+ or a similar high-performance mode. You can adjust this via the MBUX system or the AMG DYNAMIC SELECT button located on the center console.

2. Locate the AMG Steering Wheel Button

  • On most AMG models, the AMG steering wheel features a dedicated button for performance modes, often marked with an AMG logo or a racing icon.
  • This button is typically located on the right side or left side of the steering wheel, easily accessible during high-performance driving.

3. Press the AMG Steering Wheel Button

  • Press the button to toggle through the available driving modes. When you press the button, the system should display options such as Comfort, Sport, Sport+, and Race modes (depending on the vehicle).
  • In many cases, Race Mode will be activated directly when you press the button, depending on the configuration of the vehicle.

4. Verify Activation

  • Once you activate Race Mode, check the instrument cluster or MBUX screen for confirmation. The display should show that Race Mode is engaged, often with a distinct logo or notification indicating the mode has been switched.
  • The vehicle may adjust several parameters, such as suspension stiffness, throttle response, gear shift points, and exhaust sound, to optimize performance for track use or spirited driving.

5. Fine-tune Using Additional Controls (Optional)

  • In some AMG models, you may have the ability to further customize Race Mode via the MBUX multimedia system or additional steering wheel buttons. These can adjust settings like traction control or dynamic suspension based on your preference for even higher performance.

6. Use with Caution

  • Race Mode is intended for track conditions or experienced drivers. It maximizes the vehicle’s performance capabilities, which may make the car less forgiving in everyday driving situations.
  • Always use Race Mode in safe conditions, such as on a race track or closed course, to fully experience the car’s performance potential.

Summary:

The AMG steering wheel button provides a direct and easy way to switch to Race Mode for enhanced performance. By pressing the button, the vehicle adjusts various settings to deliver an exhilarating driving experience, ideal for high-performance scenarios. Always ensure you are in a safe environment when using Race Mode to fully enjoy the AMG vehicle's capabilities.
