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

this applies only if your vehicle equipment was installed at the
factory.
Depending on the multi-function steering wheel in your vehicle, you

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

multi-function steering wheel* assigned to that system is
inoperative.
