VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich., April 12, 2007 /PRNewswire/ -- Visteon
Corporation (NYSE:VC) product experts from Europe, Asia and North
America have collaborated to deliver global perspectives on
automotive trends and advancements at the 2007 SAE World Congress,
April 16-19 at Detroit's Cobo Center. These engineers have
co-authored technical papers related to automotive climate control,
lighting and electronics technologies that will be presented during
the Congress. (Logo:

in touch screen vehicle controls featuring haptic feedback is the
topic of a paper contributed by Colleen Serafin -- a Visteon
engineer -- and her colleagues in North America and Germany,
Michael Tschirhart, Ph.D., and Rainer Heers, Ph.D. Serafin and
Tschirhart will present the paper at the Congress. "The increasing
content and functionality that drivers bring into the vehicle
cockpit, initially through consumer electronic devices in many
cases, may also bring added complexity to the driver experience,"
explains Tschirhart. "A fundamental challenge is how to design
products that integrate important new features in a way that is
consistent with the driver's limited information processing
capability." Managing this proliferation through touch screens with
haptic feedback -- feeling a click or pop underneath your finger --
is the focus of this paper, for which consumer research studies
were conducted in both Germany and the United States. Another
Visteon paper focuses on emission devices in the North American and
Asian markets. The paper proposes a new evaporative emissions
device that can be permanently installed in the vehicles' air
cleaner cover without requiring service for 150,000 miles (the
expected life of the vehicle). This Visteon-invented device is
designed to reduce the level of harmful emissions from the vehicle.
The paper documents some of the considerations of programming an
absorbent evaporative emissions device in a 2007 production
passenger car for the North American and Asian markets. The Visteon
technical papers will be available Monday, April 16, on
