Abstract
A steering wheel console is provided that includes a sidewall with a recessed area. The recessed area carries air conditioning controls in a fashion that the controls do not extend outwardly of the recessed area. By locating the controls within the recessed area, the controls are substantially protected from being disturbed by interference from an operator's leg during entry and exit to/from the utility vehicle and during operation of the utility vehicle.
