Does anyone have close-up pictures of the steering wheel buttons or know what the exactly command? I'm looking for the right side buttons (left side is radio control, right?) what are the right side buttons for?
Don't have a RX-8 yet. Only test RX-8 are available in Belgium right now, so it is impossible for me to check the function of these buttons in a showroom.
Thanks!
Cheers from Belgium.

I don't have a picture, but on the U.S. model the buttons on the right of the wheel are for the cruise control. On/Off switch, Cancel, Accel/Set, Decel/Resume. Left side is radio controls like you guessed (volume, mute, mode, track/preset selector).

Not sure about other European countries but the UK model only has the audio system controls - we dont get cruise control.

Local dealer just said cruise control would not be available in Belgium.
Wonder why!

Cruise control? In a sports car? You might as well take the bus.

Maybe they want folks to concentrate on the Autobahns. :)

Hey druck: my cruise control gets me close to 25mpg and it's faster than any bus I've been on.

I used my cruise control once!
I admit it was just to see if it worked, but I;ve used it!

In a sports car you should have at least one of the pedals pressed fully against the bulkhead at all times :)

Well, thanks for telling me all about the utility of cruise control.
I just wanted to know what the right buttons of the steering wheel were for. ;)
I didn't know they could launch missiles against buses!
