A control system for a vehicle situated device (1) includes a shut-out arrangement (3) denying access to, or disabling an adjustment feature (5) of the device (1) but permitting the device to operate in a predetermined mode of operation when the vehicle is in a first state of operation. The shut-out means (3) is disabled or overridable when the vehicle is in an alternate state of operation, thereby permitting the respective adjustment feature (5) to be accessed or enabled. The shut-out arrangement (3) is typically operated to deny access to or disable the relevant adjustment feature (5) of the vehicle situated device (1) when the vehicle engine is running and/or when the vehicle is in motion. The arrangement reduces driver distraction and thereby reduces driver error and the risk of accident. <IMAGE> |
