A method of controlling a component of a vehicle includes detecting, by a control system of the vehicle, an actuation of a manual control assembly positioned on a steering controller of the vehicle, wherein the manual control assembly is capable of a plurality of actuations; determining a user control context associated with the actuation of the manual control assembly, such as the component of the vehicle and value(s) used to control operation of the component; adjusting, based on the user control context, an operational state of the manual control assembly for receiving a user input, wherein the adjusted operational state corresponds to the value(s) used to control operation of the component; and/or upon receiving a user selection of the value(s) via the manual control assembly, executing a control operation for the component of the vehicle based on the user selection.
