Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement (I) of a palm rest (IO) and a manually actuatable operating element (20) for a vehicle. The palm rest (IO) is designed to adopt a first and a second position relative to the operating element (20), the palm rest (IO) being positioned, in the first position, such that it enables a hand (2) to be supported while the operating element (20) is being operated. To protect against damage and to enable the vehicle interior to be better used, the palm rest (IO) is positioned, in the second position, such that the palm rest (IO) at least partially projects over and/or covers the operating element (20).

Abstract: An operating device for a motor vehicle, having a base element configured to be attached to an interior component, a screen device configured to display a driving mode and/or an ambient mode of the motor vehicle display, having a touch-sensitive surface configured to receive a first user input. A ring element is configured to enclose the screen device on the peripheral side, and configured to move relative to the base element in different rotational positions, and configured to receive a second user input via an adjustment of the ring element between the rotational positions, and a control device which is configured to, depending on the first user input and/or the second user input, provide a control signal to trigger a driving mode to be set and/or an ambient mode of the motor vehicle to be set.

Abstract: The operating unit for a vehicle includes an operating element having an operating surface movable in an actuating direction from a rest position into a function-triggering position and from the function-triggering position back to the rest position by means of depressing. A parallel guiding device ensures that the operating surface moves in parallel. The parallel guiding device is provided with at least one pair of engaging first and second levers which are mounted in an articulated manner with play on support elements being in turn connected to the operating element. The support elements are axially guided on a carrier element. The levers are pivotably mounted on bearing blocks, substantially free of play, so that the operating element behaves substantially free of play in directions transverse to the depressing movement. The parallel guiding device is designed in compliance with tolerances that are comparatively easy to realize in terms of manufacture.

Abstract: An apparatus for a passenger compartment of a vehicle includes a display panel having an external portion and an internal portion. The passenger compartment is delimited by paneling to separate the passenger compartment from a region outside of the passenger compartment. The internal portion of the display panel is in the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The external portion of the display panel, separated from the passenger compartment by the paneling, is in the region outside of the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The external portion of the display panel is to generate an external display content inside of the region. The apparatus includes a strip in a first opening of the paneling. The strip is to project the external display content of the external portion of the display panel out of the region that is separated from the passenger compartment by the paneling and into the passenger compartment.
