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).

 

Wonder if this is available on the european RX-8 models!

Thanks for your answer.

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.

 

i thought there was only one autobahn?

 

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

 

Nope, there's a bunch of them - "autobahn" is similar to the American term "interstate." Here's a map.

 

I used my cruise control once!

I admit it was just to see if it worked, but I;ve used it!

 

good point

 

never used the cruise yet. i guess i should try it out to see if there are any problems.

 

wow i never though to test the cruise control. i used it once in my civic and never in the galant. im not a fan of the whole cruise control idea..

 

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

 

so true

but only in a world with no such thing as speeding tickets

 

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!
