To use the AMG Steering Wheel to manage navigation, you can leverage the built-in touch-sensitive controls and buttons designed for convenient access to various functions of your vehicle's MBUX multimedia system. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to manage navigation using the steering wheel:

1. Activate Navigation

First, make sure that your navigation system is active through the MBUX screen, which is typically located on the center console or dashboard.

• If you're using voice commands, you can say something like "Hey Mercedes, navigate to [destination]."
• Alternatively, use the MBUX system to manually input the destination.

2. Locate the Navigation Controls on the Steering Wheel

The AMG steering wheel will have specific controls for managing navigation features, usually in the form of touch-sensitive pads, buttons, or a dial. These are typically located on the left or right side of the steering wheel.

• Left Side (for Media and Navigation): On many AMG steering wheels, the left-side controls are typically used to manage media, volume, and navigation.
• Right Side (for Driver Information and Settings): The right-side controls are often used to interact with the digital cockpit and the instrument cluster.

3. Using the Touch Control Buttons for Navigation

Many AMG steering wheels come with touch-sensitive control pads that allow you to swipe and tap to navigate through menus.

• Swipe to Navigate: Swipe your finger up or down on the left-side touchpad to scroll through different navigation options (such as searching for an address or viewing routes).
• Tap for Selections: Tap the touchpad to select a specific option or route from the display.

4. Use the Navigation Arrow Buttons

On the AMG steering wheel, you may also have dedicated arrow buttons or buttons labeled with icons that can be used to:

• Zoom in/Zoom out on the map.
• Scroll through options (such as alternative routes or points of interest).
• Switch between navigation screens, like route guidance and traffic information.

5. Manage Navigation Routes via the Steering Wheel

Once your navigation is active:

• Adjust the route: You can use the touchpad or arrow buttons to zoom in/out on the map or switch between alternative routes.
• Switch to Street View: If your vehicle supports it, you may be able to use the steering wheel controls to switch to a 3D view or street-level view for more detailed navigation.

6. Voice Control Integration

Some AMG vehicles come with integrated voice commands for controlling the MBUX system. You can use the voice button on the steering wheel to interact with the navigation system:

• Activate Voice Command: Press the voice command button (usually marked with a microphone icon) on the steering wheel and say commands like "Show me the map" or "Navigate to [destination]."
• Search Locations: You can use voice commands to find points of interest, addresses, or businesses.

7. Adjusting Navigation Preferences

The AMG steering wheel allows you to adjust navigation settings on the fly:

• Change Display Settings: You can adjust the size or detail of the map shown on your digital cockpit display, all through the controls on the steering wheel.
• Mute/Unmute Navigation Instructions: The volume button on the steering wheel lets you adjust the navigation instruction volume, or mute it completely if desired.

8. Navigating via the Instrument Cluster

• AMG Digital Cockpit: If your vehicle has a digital cockpit, you can use the steering wheel controls to navigate through different driver information displays, including navigation and route directions, directly on the instrument cluster. This allows you to follow your route without taking your eyes off the road.

9. Interactive Map Display

On vehicles equipped with AMG Performance Media, the steering wheel can be used to interact with the map and other navigation features displayed on the screen.

• Toggle between screens: Swipe or tap on the touchpad to switch between the map view, traffic view, and other useful navigation screens.
• Select Points of Interest: Tap to select nearby attractions or services, like restaurants, gas stations, and hotels, directly from the steering wheel.

10. Advanced Navigation Features

On some AMG models, advanced features such as Augmented Reality Navigation or Real-Time Traffic Data can be controlled via the steering wheel. This allows you to:

• Visualize routes: With augmented reality, the system overlays real-world views with navigation directions on your screen.
• See live traffic information: Steering wheel controls can allow you to toggle between different views that display current road conditions, traffic, and hazards.

Summary:

The AMG Steering Wheel allows you to seamlessly control your vehicle’s navigation system via its touch-sensitive pads, buttons, and voice command features. Whether you're adjusting your route, zooming in on a map, or using advanced navigation features, the steering wheel provides a convenient and safe way to manage your navigation without taking your hands off the wheel or eyes off the road.
