CONSTRUCTION


  1. Remote Touch



    1. The Remote Touch consists of the switch knob and 6 switches.


      Y101040E07



    2. The switch knob of the Remote Touch consists of the joystick and 2 motors that enable 2-axis control in longitudinal and lateral directions.
      - The 2 motors generate feedback force according to screen button and icon locations, achieving a 'click' feeling during operation.


      Y109615E02

      - The 2 motors provide three types of feedback force (resistance, icons, frame). Overlapping feedback forces are added together.

      Feedback Force
      Description
      Resistance
      Feedback force, which interferes the switch knob operation, is generated in proportion to the switch knob operation speed. Resistance generated on the map screen is stronger than on other screens (MENU screen etc.).
      Icon
      Force is provided to pull the pointer toward the center of the set area (near icons). Stronger force is provided while driving.
      Frame
      Force is generated to move the pointer toward the inside of the screen when the pointer is close to the edge of the screen.

      Y108897E01


OPERATION


  1. Remote Touch



    1. When the switch knob of the Remote Touch is operated, the pointer will be displayed on the display screen. When the pointer comes close to an icon, the cursor will appear and the icon framed by the cursor can be selected.


      Y109263E01



    2. For the keyboard screen, keys selected by the cursor are displayed larger to enhance visibility.


      Y101044

    3. The feedback force that is generated when an icon is selected, the pointer shape and the pointer size are customizable using the Remote Touch.

    4. To inform the user that the cursor has selected a different icon or an operation is accepted, 3 types of beep sounds (selection sound, pointer sound, error sound) are provided in accordance with operation conditions. The ON/OFF setting of each beep sound is individually customizable.

      Beep Sound
      Function
      Default Configuration
      Selection Sound
      Sounds every time the cursor is moved.
      OFF
      Pointer Sound
      Sounds when ENTER is pressed with the cursor displayed and the operation is accepted.
      (For scrolling the map, the pointer sound will be emitted when the scrolling operation is accepted.)
      ON
      Error Sound
      Sounds when ENTER is pressed without the cursor displayed or an operation is not accepted.
      ON

    5. When the power switch is turned to ON or ACC, the switch knob moves automatically toward the center of the movable area to detect its neutral position. At that time, if the switch knob does not move for 10 seconds or more due to load resistance of an obstacle etc., power supply to the motor will stop. If the switch knob is moved when power is not supplied to the motor due to the obstacle, neutral position detection for the switch knob will need to occur again.

    6. When the switch knob does not move for 10 seconds or more, it is judged that the knob is not being operated. Power supply to the motor will be stopped to save power and protect the motor. When the switch knob is operated again, power supply to the motor starts immediately and feedback force is generated.


FAIL-SAFE
  1. Overheating Protection for Remote Touch Motor

    1. When overheating is judged, motor output will be stopped.

    2. When a short is detected, motor output will be stopped. (The motor will remain stopped until the power switch is turned off.)

    3. When an abnormal power source voltage (20 V or higher) is detected, motor output will be stopped. (The motor will operate as soon as the voltage returns to normal.)

      HINT:
      Feedback force may be reduced during fail-safe control.
