Controls in detail Control system Depending on the selected menu, pressing the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel will alter what appears in the multifunction display. The information available in the multifunction display is arranged in menus, each containing a number of functions or submenus. The individual functions are then found within the relevant menu (radio or CD operations under AUDIO, for example). These functions serve to call up relevant information or to customize the settings for your vehicle. It is helpful to think of the menus, and the functions within each menu, as being arranged in a circular pattern. If you press button è or ÿ repeatedly, you will pass through each menu one after the other. If you press button k or j repeatedly, you will pass through each function display, one after the other, in the current menu. In the Settings menu, instead of functions, you will find a number of submenus for calling up and changing settings. For instructions on using these submenus, see "Settings menu" ( page 170). The number of menus available in the system depends on which optional equipment is installed in your vehicle. The menus are described on the following pages. 159
