Abstract

A system and method for operating a rotatable knob module with adjustable tactile feedback. The rotatable knob module includes a knob configured to continuously rotate about a center axis and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to determine a current trailer angle, define a virtual center position of the knob based on the current trailer angle, and adjust a rotational torque of the knob when the knob is rotated from a first rotational position to a second rotational position based on a relative virtual rotational distance of the second rotational position from the virtual center position.
