Background technique [0002] Vehicles are often equipped with a control panel that includes keys for activating various functions of the vehicle. [0003] As vehicles become more complex and drivers demand more comfort and vehicle choice, the number of functions achievable through the control panel tends to increase significantly. This could be achieved by providing more buttons on the control panel, but there are practical limitations to this approach due to the space available in the vehicle (eg on the dashboard). Furthermore, having a large number of keys is undesirable from a safety point of view, as it may cause driver inattention. Alternatively, one key may be assigned several functions, typically activating one function o...
