FUNCTION
The remote touch consists of the switches and touchpad.
A stabilizer structure is used to distribute force evenly when the surface of the touchpad is pressed. No matter what area of the touchpad is pressed, the operation is recognized without misoperation.

Vibration Control
To provide feedback to the user's hand, the remote touch uses an internal motor to generate vibrations for the touchpad when selected icons or buttons change.
Pull-in Control
The icon whose center is closest to the current pointer position is judged to be the pull-in icon, which pulls the pointer toward the center of the icon.
In the following illustration, since the distance between the current pointer position and the center of icon A is smaller than the distance between the current pointer position and the center of icon B, the pointer is pulled to icon A.
When the pointer position changes as shown in the following illustration, the vibrations are generated on the touchpad.
| *1 | Pointer |
| *2 | Icon B |
| *3 | Icon A |
| *4 | Vibration generated on touchpad |
Frame Area Control
A frame area surrounds all screens. The frame area prevents the pointer from moving outside the screen.

OPERATION
Touchpad Operation
Touchpad operations are displayed by the system highlighting the screen buttons of the multi-display assembly or moving the pointer.
When the touchpad is operated, the touchpad calculates the difference based on the previous pointer position coordinates sent to the navigation ECU and sends the result to the navigation ECU.
| *1 | Coordinates (X0, Y0) |
| *2 | Sends new coordinate as (X0+X1, Y0+Y1) |
| *3 | The illustrations are examples only. The illustrations may differ from the actual vehicle screens. |
Customization
A customization function of the remote touch is provided to change settings of the touchpad according to user's preference.
The strength of the touchpad vibrations can be changed using the setup menu on the multi-display.
All other customization settings of the touchpad can be changed by manually operating the remote touch.
