Abstract
The invention provides a user interface for a vehicle. A display is configured to include a fixed area and a selectable area. The fixed area displays vehicle information, while the selectable area displays one of a plurality of pages that includes parameters for at least one of a plurality of optional subsystems for the vehicle. A steering device for the vehicle can include a first and second set of input devices mounted on opposing sides of the steering device. The first set of input devices select one of the plurality of pages to display in the selectable area. The second set of input devices adjust parameters on the selected page.
