Default DIC Control: New Steering Wheel Functions Coming to the 2009 Corvette

As I discussed in Saturday's video blog post, there is a steering wheel on the 2009 Corvette ZR1 that is not on any of the 2008 Corvettes. This new steering wheel has two buttons on the left side that allow the driver to view information displayed on the DIC. The top button chooses the information or moves through the screens. The bottom button with the arrow is used for selecting the menu.
These function buttons show up on several other GM vehicles including the Chevrolet Silverado, Malibu and the Saturn Sky. Below you see the 2009 Corvette ZR1's steering wheel and a similar (albeit more advanced) steering wheel of the 2008 Saturn Sky.

We're going to make an assumption that this new wheel will also be standard on the 2009 base and Z06 models. It seems controlling your DIC while keeping your hands on the wheel is a fairly reasonable feature and there's not much reason why it would be offered exclusively to ZR1 buyers.
Now how about those cruise control buttons!Thanks for the tip George!
