Illustration: Sports steering wheel

The standard sports steering wheel has an integrated full-size airbag and a high-grip rim in smooth-finish leather. It adjusts up to 40 mm for both height and reach.

With its four function keys and two rollers, the optional multifunction steering wheel offers direct access to the main audio, telephone and navigation functions. It is available in smooth- finish leather, aluminium look, carbon or macassar on request.

In conjunction with PDK, the steering wheels are equipped with two ergonomic switches which make it possible to change gear directly from the steering wheel. With the optional Sport Chrono Package Plus, there is an additional display above the airbag module which indicates when the SPORT, SPORT PLUS or Launch Control are enabled.

The optional SportDesign steering wheel also offers an integrated full-size airbag and a high-grip rim in smooth-finish leather. It also adjusts up to 40 mm for both height and reach. The recessed grips are easy to hold, even during sporty driving. In combination with PDK, the steering wheel has two solid light alloy gearshift paddles. They are ergonomically positioned behind the right and left steering wheel spokes. Pull on the right-hand paddle and PDK changes up a gear. Pull on the left- hand paddle and it changes down. This steering wheel also comes with an additional display if combined with the Sport Chrono Package Plus. If the SPORT, SPORT PLUS and Launch Control functions are enabled, this is displayed on the left and right-hand steering wheel spokes.

Available as an option for the sports steering wheel and the multifunction steering wheel is steering wheel heating (only in conjunction with seat heating) for increased comfort on colder days.

The heating is operated by a button on the rear of the lower steering wheel spoke.
