Button block for telephone/radio

The button block is located on the right-hand side of the steering wheel. The buttons can be used to operate functions for the radio or telephone.

The MODE button can be used e.g. to switch between the individual audio sources.

Operating the toggle switch + or -changes the radio volume, for example.

The knurled wheel is designed as locking. Operating the knurled wheel (turning upwards or downwards) selects individual radio stations, for example.

Pressing the knurled wheel memorizes the selection of the radio station, for example.
