SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A MAN-MACHINE INTERFACE FOR A VEHICLE

A control system that includes a detector configured to detect a movement in a detection zone associated with a vehicle steering wheel, notably a movement of at least one finger of a vehicle driver in the detection zone; and a control unit, connected to the detector and to a display interface. The control system is configured to: activate a menu display control on the display interface following a detection of a first movement of at least one of the driver's fingers directed towards the display interface; following a detection of a second movement of the at least one driver's finger in a first substantially horizontal or vertical direction, scroll through the menus on the display interface based on the second detected movement, with a menu being selected when the driver stops the second movement, and receive a command to validate the selected menu and activate the selected menu.
