yo yo, i'm eagerly awaiting my blk/blk MC, and have been resaerchign a lot before my december arival. However i want to know everything about it before i step aboard. Can anyone out there explain the different positions and functions of the two controls on either side of the steering wheel? thanks

I'm assuming you mean the sticks on either side of the wheel. THe right one controls the windshield washers/fluid and the left side is turn signals and lights. Your dealer should take at least an hour with you when you take delivery, though. They'll show you how everything works.

 

left side: down=channel down among presets (for instance, goes from preset 4 to 3), up=channel up among presets.

right side: down=volume down, up=volume up, middle button toggles between CD and radio.

front of the wheel: left 2 buttons are cruise on/off and set speed. right 2 buttons are speed + and -
