What is the “Multi-functional button” on the steering wheel?

[TheEternalShore]

I keep looking at this mysterious button on the steering wheel of my Cybertruck and I have no idea what it does. The manual calls it the “Multi-functional button” and describes it as non-functional. Is this expected to be a programmable button in the future or something like that?

Check the newest update? You can program it I think!

Yup, the 2024.14.3 update allows it to be customized when held down. You can choose to have it control one thing or to ask each time.

The “multi-function” button refers to the scroll-wheel. Each side of the steering wheel has 3 labeled buttons, and a fourth label that is not a button but instead refers to the scroll wheel. I spent days trying to press that thing lol

The left scroll-wheel can indeed be given a custom function. I just now set mine for the glovebox, so now I just long-press and voilà!

This was not intuitive to me either. Same applies for the right side. I was trying to press the icon for cruise control, not knowing I was supposed to press the scroll wheel.

The left button controls the audio system.
Scroll up and down for volume.
Push left or right to go forward to next song or station.
Push in to pause.

It's the same on most of Teslas.

From the manual

Volume Controls
Volume can be controlled by:

• Roll the scroll button on the left side of the steering wheel up or down to increase or decrease volume respectively.This adjusts the volume for media, voice commands, and phone calls.
• Volume may be adjusted based on your driving speed and climate settings.
• Touch the <> arrows associated with the speaker icon on the bottom corner of the touchscreen.
• To mute the volume, press the left scroll button. Press again to unmute.
• Pressing the left scroll button during a phone call mutes both the sound and your microphone.

That's the one that I think they got backwards. Mainly because they changed it from the other vehicles. In the Model 3 and model Y, you push the rotating button to enter a command.
I keep hitting in and never get the beep that tells me to enter my command. Crap, wrong button.

Yep, it works for me now after the new update. I went with fan speed control.
