Human Interface Systems and Controls

We are continually improving the operability and feeling of switches frequently used by the driver so they can be operated intuitively.

We integrated the Outer Mirror Switch into the Power Window Switch in order to save space. In addition, through multiplex communication, contributed towards vehicle weight reduction, improvement in vehicle installation characteristics and reduction in the electric wire used for the Power Window Switch and Outer Mirror Switch.

The Steering Switches give a vehicle a sense of quality and offer comfortable operability through their close proximity to the driver.

We improved the design characteristics and usability of our air conditioner switch by adding a liquid crystal display.

The push-button switch allows engine start & stop of a vehicle. Other than a standard black knob, there are variations such as red, blue, the silver.

The Shift Lever not only controls the transmission, but also enhances safety. Through its connection to the key lock and break it prevents the key from being pulled out while driving or inadvertent vehicle operation when starting the engine.
In addition, we have recently started offering a Shift Lever that communicates using an electronic signal for HV vehicles as seen in the TOYOTA PRIUS.
