What are the function buttons on an Audi steering wheel?
2 Answers
Here is the relevant introduction about the function buttons on an Audi steering wheel: 1. Left-side buttons: These can control the instrument cluster screen. They include page switching buttons, selection buttons, and instrument view switching interfaces, among others. 2. Right-side buttons: These can control multimedia and Bluetooth calls. They include Bluetooth call buttons, customizable function buttons, track switching buttons, voice control buttons, volume buttons, and other related settings. 3. Cruise control switch: Cruise control can only be activated above 30km/h. Turning on cruise control does not mean the car will automatically start driving at a fixed speed; you also need to press the SET button on the left side of the lever to set the speed. The SPEED button is for speed adjustment, with an upward press increasing speed and a downward press decreasing speed. The LIM button is for setting a speed limit to prevent the driver from exceeding the set speed when manually pressing the accelerator; once the speed limit is set, the car will not exceed it.
I've driven several Audis, and the steering wheel function buttons are quite user-friendly. The left side concentrates on driver assistance features. For example, pressing the small wrench button in the middle activates cruise control, with up and down arrows adjusting speed and left and right buttons controlling following distance—super convenient for highway driving. The right side handles entertainment and communication, featuring a volume wheel with tactile damping, track skip buttons right under the index finger, and a prominently placed call answer button. Behind the steering wheel hide paddle shifters for quick gear changes in manual mode. The most practical in winter is the heating button at the 3 o'clock position—just press it, and in 3-5 seconds, it warms up. Some newer models even include a touchpad, allowing finger swipes to switch dashboard display modes, making operation both intuitive and safe.
