Multi-function steering wheelApplies to vehicles: with multi-function steering wheelGeneral
The multi-function steering wheel enables quick and 
easy operation of selected systems on the Navigation 
System.To minimize driver distraction when operating the Navigation 
System and its components, buttons for controlling basic audio 
functions are placed on the multi-function steering wheel. However, 
this applies only if your vehicle equipment was installed at the 
factory.
Depending on the multi-function steering wheel in your vehicle, you 
can use audio functions.
You use the buttons to operate the function that is active at the time. 
For example, if you are listening to the radio, you can select the 
last/next station from the station list using the   or   button on 
the multi-function steering wheel with audio controls*.
The volume can be adjusted in each active function.
Of course, you can continue to use the audio functions from the 
Navigation System.
Tips
If systems have not been installed in the vehicle, the button on the 
multi-function steering wheel* assigned to that system is 
inoperative.
