System for a vehicle

A system for a vehicle, comprising:

• an air conditioning system that conveys conditioned air into a cabin of the vehicle;
• a motorized directional air flow control feature that controls a direction of conditioned air flowing into the cabin of the vehicle from the air conditioning system;
• a touchscreen that includes an operation zone and a deactivation zone, the touchscreen being configured to display an air flow graphic having a directional quality and an air flow control icon associated with the air flow graphic, wherein the touchscreen is configured to receive a user input via a touch event on the touchscreen originating at a first position within the operation zone that corresponds with the position of the air flow control icon displayed on the touchscreen and terminates at a second position on the touchscreen that is in a spaced-relationship with the first position;
• and
• a controller configured to prompt adjustment of the motorized directional air flow control feature to a closed orientation in response to the touchscreen receiving the user input if the second position is within the deactivation zone of the touchscreen, such that conditioned air is restricted by the motorized directional air flow control feature from flowing into the cabin from the air conditioning system.

A system for a vehicle, comprising:

• an air conditioning system that conveys conditioned air into a cabin of the vehicle;
• a first motorized directional air flow control feature that controls a direction of conditioned air flowing into the cabin of the vehicle from the air conditioning system;
• a second motorized directional air flow control feature that controls a direction of conditioned air flowing into the cabin of the vehicle from the air conditioning system;
• a touchscreen that includes first and second operation zones and first and second deactivation zones, the touchscreen being configured to display first and second air flow graphics having respective directional qualities and first and second air flow control icons associated with the first and second air flow graphics, respectively, wherein the touchscreen is configured to receive a first user input via a first touch event on the touchscreen originating at a first position within the first operation zone that corresponds with the position of the first air flow control icon displayed on the touchscreen and terminates at a second position on the touchscreen that is in a spaced-relationship with the first position and positioned within the first deactivation zone;
• and
• a controller configured to prompt adjustment of the first motorized directional air flow control feature, independently of the second motorized directional air flow control feature, to a closed orientation in response to the touchscreen receiving the first user input, such that conditioned air is restricted by the first motorized directional air flow control feature from flowing into the cabin from the air conditioning system.
