In Mercedes-AMG vehicles, adjusting climate settings directly via the steering wheel buttons is not typically a default function. However, with modern MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) systems, multifunction steering wheel controls, and integration with the vehicle's digital systems, there are ways to make climate control adjustments more accessible while driving. Here’s how you can adjust the climate settings with available controls:

Steps to Adjust Climate Settings via Steering Wheel Buttons:

1. Ensure the Vehicle is in "Access" or "Run" Mode:
   • Make sure the car is in the right mode, either "Run" or accessory mode, to allow system settings to be adjusted.
2. Locate the Steering Wheel Controls:
   • Multifunction Steering Wheel: Modern AMG steering wheels typically have a set of touch-sensitive or physical buttons for controlling various vehicle systems, including the MBUX interface.
   • These include buttons for navigation, phone, media, and sometimes quick vehicle settings, but climate control may not always be directly adjustable from the steering wheel.
3. Access MBUX Climate Control via the Steering Wheel:
   • If your vehicle is equipped with MBUX, you can use the touch-sensitive pads or buttons on the steering wheel to navigate the system.
   • Swipe on the touchpad to activate the MBUX main screen, and use the display to access climate control features such as:
     • Temperature (adjusting the cabin temperature)
     • Fan speed (adjusting airflow)
     • Air distribution (changing where the air is directed, such as feet, face, or windshield)
     • Air quality settings
4. Use Voice Control (Optional):
   • If your steering wheel includes the voice command button, you can also activate voice control and issue commands to adjust the climate settings, such as:
     • "Set the temperature to 72 degrees."
     • "Increase the fan speed."
     • "Turn on the air conditioning."
   • The MBUX system will respond and make the necessary adjustments.
5. Climate Control via the Infotainment Screen:
   • If direct adjustment through the steering wheel is unavailable, you can always adjust the climate controls using the infotainment touchscreen or center console buttons while driving.
   • The steering wheel controls, in this case, may only help navigate to the climate settings within the infotainment system.

Conclusion:

While direct climate control via the AMG steering wheel buttons may not be standard in all models, the integration with MBUX and the voice control system allows for easy access to climate settings. Touch-sensitive pads and voice commands are the primary methods for making adjustments while keeping your hands on the wheel.
