Abstract

See full text

A sunroof control interface, as well as a method of using the interface, is provided. The interface may use a visual representation of the vehicle's exterior and/or a slide controller to help the user to quickly identify the desired sunroof position. Preset sunroof positions are used with the control interface to simplify sunroof positioning. Assuming a touch-screen interface, the user can simply tap on the visual representation of the vehicle, or tap on the slide controller, to select a preset sunroof position. The preset sunroof position may also be selected using a mouse controller. The visual depiction of the vehicle may include a phantom sunroof overlay to further aid the user in selecting the desired sunroof position. A numerical indicator may be used with either the overlay or the slide controller to indicate the selected sunroof position relative to a fully open or fully closed sunroof.
