Abstract
The development of a procedure to evaluate the driver's ability to identify and attach meaning to automotive control identification symbols is outlined, together with the test results of Step I of a three-step procedure. The use of a standardized test methodology is essential in arriving at any standard set of symbols which are expected to have a high potential for immediate understanding by the driving population.
