The dual-view Touch Screen (TS) enables the passenger and driver to view completely different images from their respective seating positions. This technology has provided a solution for the legal issues attached to viewing moving images whilst the vehicle is in motion. It is not possible for the driver to view moving images with an active speed signal, but the passenger can view Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) and Television (TV) independent of the driver.

Vehicles fitted with a dual view TS are supplied with a headphone transmitter located in the overhead console and one pair of infra-red wireless headphones. This allows the front seat passenger to view and listen to music, DVD and TV without disturbing the driver.

NOTE: Due to legislation the North American Specification (NAS) markets do not receive this option. A single view display is available in these markets.

The dual-view TS use a Parallax Barrier Shutter Technology to alternately hide and reveal columns of pixels to the left and right hand views of the screen. The display comes with a specially designed anti-glare coating to help prevent sunlight bleaching.

To access a TV or video image when the vehicle is in motion and single view is selected, the dual view soft key should be pressed by either the driver or the passenger. This will then change the TS to dual-view mode allowing the passenger to view TV or video, but not the driver. A second press of the soft key will change the TS back to single view.

Once dual-view has been selected, the driver can change the current screen without affecting the passengers view by the source on the TS.

The audio system can only broadcast one audio source. Therefore, the TV/video source that is current for the passenger will also be the audio the driver can hear. The passengers can choose to use headphones to listen to the sound source accompanying the TV/video. This allows the driver to listen to a different audio source or navigation commands via the vehicle speaker system.

The driver's view is also event driven. For example if reverse gear is selected, the rear view camera will be displayed automatically, overriding the currently displayed information.
