ABSTRACT:
A compartment of a motor vehicle has a steering wheel and a dashboard including a generally vertically-extending front surface and a movable sub-panel for carrying controls for one or more vehicle accessories. The sub-panel is supported for movement between a first position at the front surface of the dashboard and a second position in which the controls are readily accessible by the eyes and hands of the operator. A command device is provided for commanding movement of the sub-panel between the first and second positions and is operable without requiring the operator to look significantly away from the road or to reach with one hand to a location far away from the steering wheel.
