ABSTRACT:
A multimedia information and control system in a vehicle enables a user to access information concerning the vehicle and to control vehicle functions in an efficient manner. In addition, the system monitors usage of vehicle components, and alerts a user when it is time to service the components, thereby properly maintaining the components. The alert may comprise a textual, audio and/or visual message.
