Automobile Interior

Passive safety equipments, gear shifter, dashboard and various kinds of ancillaries such as stereos, air-conditioner, car phones, global positioning systems, cup holders, refrigerators etc. taken together constitute the automobile interior. While some of these equipments form an indispensable part of a vehicle, others are there for the sole purpose of entertainment and make the driving experience a more pleasurable one. Some examples of such automotive interior accessories are as follows:

Safety Enhancements:

The interior of various automotives are designed keeping in mind the safety and comfort of the driver. For example, a layer of stiff padding is given over the gauges and switches that are grouped and enveloped by the dashboard.

Electronic Instrumentations:

While on one hand the modern day computerized electronic instrumentations are reliable, they are also informative on the other.
For example, lights and alarms help in detecting low fuel level and improperly closed doors.

Microcomputer Instrumentations:

Though not in large numbers, some vehicles come with microcomputer instrumentations. A bar chart fuel gauge, digital speedometer and a message center are to name a few amongst these technological marvels. While keeping an eye on the average and instantaneous fuel consumption of the vehicle is facilitated by a computer chip, the message center can provide the detailing about the current condition of the various engine parts and also inform the driver about the remaining distance between the car and its destination.

Comfort & Entertainment Add-ons:

Bucket seats or individual rounded seats are very comfortable to sit on. Being close to the floor, they provide extra riding comfort to the rider. Air-conditioner or heaters help to keep the internal temperature of the vehicle under control and provide a very conducive driving environment.
