Dual-View Touch Screen (TS): Notes

The TS is mounted centrally in the instrument panel. The dual-view TS enables the passenger and driver to view completely different images from their respective seating positions. This technology has provided a solution for the legal issues attached to viewing moving images whilst the vehicle is in motion. It is not possible for the driver to view moving images with an active speed signal but the passenger can.

NOTE: Due to legislation the NAS markets will not receive this option. A single view display is available in these markets.

The dual-view TS uses Parallax Barrier Shutter Technology to alternately hide and reveal columns of pixels to the left and right hand views of the screen. The display comes with a specially designed agar coating to help prevent sunlight bleaching.

To access a TV or video image when the vehicle is in motion and single view is selected, the dual view button should be pressed by either the driver or the passenger. This will then switch the TS to dual-view mode allowing the passenger to view TV or video, but not the driver. A second press of the button will change the TS back to single view.
