Dual function touch switch with haptic feedback

A user input device for controlling a plurality of adjustable settings of one or more systems in a vehicle comprising:

• a plurality of dual function sensors disposed along a frontal surface of said device, each of the dual function sensors having a contact sensitive circuit, a pressure sensitive circuit, and a feedback circuit, wherein for each of the plurality of dual function sensors:
• the contact sensitive circuit is configured to generate a first signal indicating contact between a user and the dual function sensor and a location thereof;
• the pressure sensitive circuit is configured to generate a second signal indicating that an amount of pressure exceeding a predetermined threshold is being applied to the dual function sensor;
• the feedback circuit is configured to generate feedback to the user indicating that at least one of the contact sensitive circuit and the pressure sensitive circuit of the dual function sensor has been activated;
• a central processing unit configured to receive the first signals and the second signals from the plurality of dual function sensors and to determine a location and type of user input based on the received signals, wherein said user input controls a current adjustable setting of the plurality of adjustable settings.
