The VW Golf current generation starting has “haptic” controls on the steering wheel and dash under the radio. As it stands right now you cannot make changes to radio, or cruise control without taking your eyes off th me road and look down at the steering wheel to find the button you are looking for.

These issues are related to unintentional use of controls on the steering wheel while driving.

There is an orange warning panel in the Owner's Manual stating that this feature is active when driving. The “R” button is covered by my hand when h
