How do I adjust the Sport Steering Wheel in my Cayenne Electric?

The Cayenne Electric features a Multifunction Sport Steering Wheel in leather, which includes integrated steering wheel heating and a mode switch. Depending on the model and specification, the even sportier GT Sport Steering Wheel is also available in leather or Race-Tex. Both steering wheel variants offer direct access to key vehicle functions and support a dynamic, focused driving style.

Alongside media and phone controls, driving modes and displays can be operated directly from the steering wheel. The Driver Assistance Control Lever is located below the left steering wheel spoke, enabling convenient operation of the assistance systems.
