Abstract: A vehicle comprising a Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) control assembly for navigating a menu associated with an HVAC system of the vehicle, the menu controlling operation of the HVAC system. A multiple input tactile control device, interface, and system is provided. In addition to providing input by rotating the tactile control device, a user can provide input via touching a touchpad, actuating the touchpad, and/or actuating the tactile control dial in the linear axial direction.

Abstract: Methods and system of rendering a combined display including map and detected objects in environment surrounding a vehicle are provided. A display device or user interface combines active driver assist systems information and guidance data into one presentation of information that is overlaid onto a map. When a vehicle is in manual mode a user can easily and conveniently monitor all relevant driving data via the display device. A vehicle processor may receive map information from a navigation system and object data from vehicle sensors and systems monitoring an environment around a vehicle. This information may be fused together to form an integrated map presentation to be rendered to a display device associated with the vehicle. The map may be shown on an arrangement of multiple-plane surfaces that can resize and reshape to automatically and selectively enhance a level of detail in the presentation.
