ABSTRACT:
A graphical user interface system for use in a vehicle includes a series of selection switches, multi-purpose adjustment switch and control switches. The selection switches enable a user to choose a vehicle subsystem and a display screen instantaneously displays the subsystem and all adjustable functions associated with that system. The adjustment switches are utilized to adjust the functions of the subsystem to change the operation. The arrangement and selection of the adjustment switches and the display strategy enable a user to readily adjust all of the functions of a particular subsystem using a minimum number of switches and without having to page through various menu screens.
