A system and method for controlling a vehicle system is presented. An icon is displayed on a display. The icon is associated with a function of the vehicle system and has an entrance zone about a center of the icon and an exit zone about the center of the icon. The exit zone is larger than the entrance zone. A location of a gaze of a user upon the display is detected using an eye gaze detection system.
