Abstract

A method of operating one or more output means for a motor vehicle that includes providing one or more sensors and the one or more output means, detecting an input based on at least one of a position and movement of a passenger body part using the one or more sensors, and controlling power consumption of the one or more output means based on the detected input where this detecting includes detecting one or more inputs, the one or more inputs comprising at least one of a proximity of the body part relative to the one or more output means and a trajectory of the body part relative to the one or more output means.
