The steering wheel has a bunch of buttons left and right of the boss. Mainly radio functions.
The very centre of the wheel (about 5" diameter) is surrounded by what looks like speaker mesh.
This speaker mesh 'ring' is about 1/2" wide.
I'll have a closer look when I get it home. |
You have the Multifunction steering wheel then. Its not a bad thing to have. You can change tracks on the CD, move radio stations, and adjust the volume. You also have an R/T button to switch between Radio and Telephone. If you switch to telephone, you can then use the up and down buttons to scroll through your phone book (in the Nokia) on the DIS (Trip computer). It was bleeding edge 10 years ago....

We've not done it before, and we have no xenon plus in at the moment. Our last pair just went to the USA last week. It is probably do-able, but might require some significant wiring work because of the 'flash' situation and the xenon plus having an extra bulb effectively. I'm not really convinced its worth it, as the regular xenons do a very good as it is. Try it for a while first.

Thats perfectly normal. The xenon headlights are 'autolevelling' - You'll notice you no longer have a manual levelling button on the dash to the right below the steering wheel.
Instead, there are two sensors, one at the front suspension, and one at the rear suspension to work out how level the car is, and it adjusts the headlights in real time to stop you blinding people. The motion of it flicking up at start up is normal, and it will continue to move up and down the whole journey...
