Abstract:
A trim panel intended to be arranged within the interior of a vehicle cabin, the trim panel having an appearance face intended to be visible to an occupant of the cabin, a reverse face provided with an interface for attachment of the trim panel to a support member, and at least one attachment bracket forming part of the attachment interface. The appearance face defines a tactile interaction area intended to serve as a control input for the occupant, and at least one sensor assembly is arranged on an attachment bracket, each sensor assembly being adapted to, when the trim panel is arranged inside a cabin, detect a deformation of its attachment bracket upon pressure exerted by an occupant on the trim panel on the tactile interaction area.
