To reset steering wheel settings to default in your Mercedes-Benz (particularly in an AMG or other high-performance models with advanced settings), you'll need to adjust settings related to the steering wheel's position, reach, and other personalized features like the steering wheel heating or memory settings.

Here’s how you can reset the steering wheel settings to default:

Method 1: Using the Vehicle Settings Menu (MBUX or COMAND)

  1. Turn on the Vehicle: Start the vehicle (or put it in the "Accessory" mode, depending on your model).
  2. Access the Infotainment System:
    • If you have an MBUX system, use the center touchscreen or the touchpad controller to navigate through the settings.
    • For COMAND systems, use the rotary knob or touchscreen (depending on your vehicle).
  3. Navigate to Settings: Find the Settings or Vehicle Settings menu.
  4. Locate Steering Wheel Settings:
    • This could be labeled as "Steering Wheel Adjustment" or "Steering Wheel Settings" under the "Seat & Steering" or "Comfort" menu.
  5. Reset to Default:
    • Once you’ve located the Steering Wheel Settings, look for the option to reset or return the settings to default.
    • This can often be done by selecting "Reset" or "Restore Defaults" for steering wheel position or personalized settings.
  6. Confirm: After selecting reset, confirm your action to restore the settings to factory defaults.

Method 2: Using the Memory Seat Button

  1. Check for Memory Function: If your vehicle has a memory seat function (which often includes memory for steering wheel positions), you may be able to reset the settings by setting it to a factory default position.
  2. Adjust the Steering Wheel: Use the electronic controls to adjust the steering wheel to the desired position.
  3. Set Default Memory Position: Save your changes to the memory by pressing and holding the memory button (usually labeled M) for a few seconds until you hear a confirmation sound. You may be able to reset by reprogramming the memory to default positions.
  4. Default Steering Wheel Position: If you’re resetting it to factory settings, the default position might be the one you get when first turning on the car, or you can choose a neutral setting for both tilt and reach.

Method 3: Manual Adjustment (Physical Reset)

If your steering wheel has manual adjustments (such as tilt or reach), you can simply move it back to the factory default position:

  1. Adjust the Steering Wheel: Pull the lever underneath the steering wheel (or use the touch controls if available) to adjust the wheel’s tilt, reach, and height.
  2. Return to Default Position: Slide it back to the neutral or center position (this is typically where it would be if you hadn't made any personal adjustments).

Method 4: For AMG-Specific Features (AMG Steering Wheel Settings)

If your AMG steering wheel includes advanced settings like specific drive mode switches or buttons for performance control, these may need to be reset through the AMG Performance Menu or Dynamic Select settings. In this case:

  1. Go to the AMG settings in the vehicle's infotainment system.
  2. Look for the option to reset or restore default settings for the wheel's controls, such as the paddle shifters, drive mode buttons, or dynamic control settings.

General Tips:

  • Check the Owner's Manual: The specific process for resetting the steering wheel might vary depending on your exact model and year. It’s always good to check the owner’s manual for any model-specific steps.
  • Dealership Assistance: If you're unable to reset settings, a Mercedes-Benz dealership can assist in restoring the wheel to factory settings.

By following these steps, you should be able to reset your AMG or Mercedes-Benz steering wheel settings to their factory defaults, ensuring the vehicle returns to its original configurations.
