Steering wheel controlsGeneral informationThe steering wheel includes a multifunction module from where it is possible
to control the audio, telephone and radio navigation functions, and the auto-
matic gearbox*, without needing to distract the driver's attention.
There are two versions of the multifunction module:
•Audio version, to control the available audio functions from the steering
wheel.•Audio + Telephone version, to control the available audio functions and
the telephone system from the steering wheel.
Both versions may be used to control the Audio system (Radio, CD Audio, CD
m p3, CD Changer) and the radio / navigation System, in which case they also
control the Navigation system.•Version for automatic gearbox* ⇒page 181.
