Comfort and Convenience
A multifunction steering wheel carries switches on the spokes, the short cross-pieces joining the rim to the hub, so audio or on-board computer selections happen with a thumb while both hands stay on the rim.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Automatic slip regulation acts when a driven wheel spins under power, trimming torque so it grips again. The anti-lock braking system works in the opposite case, releasing a wheel that has locked while braking.
Multimedia and Connectivity
The audio system handles the final stage of the signal: it takes a low-level analogue or decoded digital stream from a source such as AUX, USB or Bluetooth, amplifies it and drives the cabin speakers.
