Vehicular function controller having alterable function designators

摘要

A multifunction control system for a vehicle includes a plurality of switches, each switch adapted to control a plurality of vehicular functions. Each switch has associated therewith a display element for indicating which of the functions that switch is controlling. The system further includes a microprocessor based controller which mediates which designator each display element will exhibit as well as which vehicular function a given switch will control. The system is readily adapted to a menu-driven mode of operation, and the switches may be mounted upon the steering wheel of a vehicle.
