Setting AMG DYNAMIC SELECT in the MBUX Multimedia System

The AMG DYNAMIC SELECT system in Mercedes-AMG vehicles allows drivers to personalize their driving experience, adjusting key performance parameters like throttle response, suspension stiffness, and exhaust sound to match their mood or driving conditions. This is controlled via the MBUX Multimedia System, which offers an intuitive interface.

Here’s how to set AMG DYNAMIC SELECT using the MBUX Multimedia System:

1. Start the Vehicle

Ensure the vehicle is turned on and the MBUX system is active. The AMG DYNAMIC SELECT settings are accessible only when the car is powered on.

2. Access the AMG DYNAMIC SELECT Menu

  • Option 1: Using the Touchscreen
    • On the MBUX touchscreen, navigate to the “Vehicle” or “Driving Modes” section from the main menu or through the vehicle settings.
    • Look for an option labeled AMG DYNAMIC SELECT or Driving Modes.
  • Option 2: Using the Touchpad (if equipped)
    • If your vehicle has a touchpad, use it to scroll and select the AMG DYNAMIC SELECT menu.
  • Option 3: Steering Wheel (if equipped)
    • In some AMG models, you can access AMG DYNAMIC SELECT directly from the steering wheel. There may be a button labeled “Driving Mode” or “DYNAMIC SELECT”. Press it to access the menu on the MBUX system.

3. Select a Driving Mode

Once inside the AMG DYNAMIC SELECT menu, you’ll have several different driving modes to choose from. These modes adjust various vehicle parameters such as throttle response, suspension settings, and steering feel.

Here are the typical modes you’ll find:

  • Comfort Mode:
    • Prioritizes a smooth, comfortable ride, perfect for daily driving or long trips.
    • Softens the suspension, adjusts throttle response for smooth acceleration, and minimizes road noise.
  • Sport Mode:
    • Provides a more dynamic driving experience with quicker throttle response and a firmer suspension.
    • Great for spirited driving on twisty roads or highways.
  • Sport+ Mode:
    • The most aggressive mode, offering maximum performance.
    • Sharper throttle response, a firm suspension, and a louder exhaust note (if equipped with AMG Real Performance Sound).
    • Ideal for track days or fast cornering.
  • Individual Mode:
    • Allows you to customize the settings based on your preferences.
    • You can independently adjust the throttle response, suspension stiffness, steering feel, and exhaust sound to create a personalized driving setup.
  • Race Mode (if available):
    • Optimized for track driving with minimal traction control and maximum performance. Ideal for high-performance driving on racetracks.
  • Off-Road or Slippery Mode (if available):
    • For driving on low-traction surfaces like snow or dirt. It adjusts the traction control and suspension to provide better grip and handling in challenging conditions.

4. Customize the Settings (for Individual Mode)

In Individual Mode, you can fine-tune various settings:

  • Throttle Response: Adjust how quickly the vehicle responds to acceleration inputs.
  • Suspension: Set the suspension for comfort or a firmer, sportier ride.
  • Exhaust Sound: Increase or decrease the volume of the exhaust note (if equipped with AMG Real Performance Sound).
  • Steering: Adjust steering sensitivity from light to firm.

To customize these settings, tap on each option within the Individual Mode section, and make the adjustments you prefer.

5. Confirm and Activate Your Selection

Once you have selected your desired mode or made adjustments in Individual Mode, confirm your choice. The vehicle should show a message or change the mode indicator on the screen to reflect your selection.

  • You may also hear a confirmation sound or visual cue that the mode has been activated.

6. Use the Steering Wheel to Change Modes (Optional)

In some AMG models, you can change driving modes directly via the steering wheel:

  • Locate the “DYNAMIC SELECT” button or “Mode Selector” button on the steering wheel.
  • Press the button to cycle through different modes.
  • The active mode will be shown on the MBUX display or through a visual cue on the instrument cluster.

7. Monitor Active Settings

Once you've selected your mode, you can keep an eye on how the vehicle is performing via the MBUX display or the digital cockpit (if available). You might see information like:

  • Suspension stiffness.
  • Throttle response.
  • Steering feel.

8. Exit the Menu

After selecting the desired mode and making any additional adjustments, exit the menu by tapping the Home button on the MBUX touchscreen or use the back button to return to the main screen.

Summary

The AMG DYNAMIC SELECT system is a key feature in Mercedes-AMG vehicles, allowing for a customized driving experience. Through the MBUX Multimedia System, drivers can easily switch between modes like Comfort, Sport, Sport+, and Individual, or adjust settings for the most personalized drive. With direct access via the steering wheel and customization options in Individual Mode, this system helps tailor the vehicle's performance to suit any driving style or conditions.
