Default Can Lexus' new 4-way steering wheel buttons control the sat nav?

Just a question for 2013 3IS, 2014 RC coupe, and 2014 NX CUV owners.

Can the 4-way navigation controls on the right hand side of your steering wheel control the big sat nav screen above the central console, in place of the 4-way joystick or track pad on the central console?

Or does the 4-way navigation controls on the steering wheel only control the electronic display on the instrument panel?

Because it could be a very good idea if steering wheel controls can control the big sat nav screen, rather than just the central console located joystick/trackpad only?

I should add, that little recall/back arrow on the steering wheel lets you go back a page while using voice commands displayed on the navigation.

minor point, there were no 2014 RC or NX, only 2015 model year (so far).

Unfortunately, release dates really confuse me, when it says like this on wiki:

RC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexus_RC

NX: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexus_NX
