Observations

1. lift screen to turn on the system2. screen is not a touch screen 3. how to play music if there's no play button4. changing between radio modes5. driver's controls are distracting6. location of help button 7. moving between menus via gesture pad

Conclusions

After Pilot User Testing-made changes that didn't alter system

functionality but improved how users interacted with and

perceived the system

After User Testing -a better understanding of how users perceived

the system and what was or wasn't intuitive 

    -safety was a value we hadn't stressed sufficiently before
