Before troubleshooting or servicing, technicians must be familiar with the functions and operation specifics of the applicable standard or optional radio and telephone system as they pertain to the multi-function steering wheel. Always read the vehicle/radio owner's manual and review the radio, tape player, CD player/changer and telephone system functions as the pertain to the multi-function steering wheel.

Function description

Function switches/buttons integrated into the multi-function steering wheel allow the driver to safely operate the radio, telephone and Tiptronic controls (models equipped with automatic transmission). In addition, the steering wheel is electrically heated.

Integrated electronics the steering wheel regulate the steering wheel heating, transmission of function switch/button operations to the vehicle CAN-Bus network and dimming (illumination) of the function buttons.

The control module for the multi-function steering wheel controls radio, radio/navigation, telephone, instrument cluster, steering wheel heating and Tiptronic (automatic transmission) functions.

The center display in the instrument cluster shows the currently selected radio channel, and when the telephone is being used, the telephone number being called (from the telephone memory). The display also indicates if either the radio plays a cassette tape (display shows: "TAPE < >", or if the CD changer is in operation (display shows: "CD 02" and the CD track number being played.
