Embodiment Construction

[0018] figure 1 An operating element of the motor vehicle, designated as a whole by reference numeral 10 , is shown.

[0019] The operating element 10 is designed here as a gear selector switch. The gear selector switch 10 has a touch surface 12 .

[0020] like figure 1 It can be seen that the gear selector switch 10 has a plurality of pin-shaped elements 14 which can be actuated by means of actuators (the actuators are not shown for the sake of clarity). That is to say, the pin-shaped element 14 can be retracted or raised by the actuator and its position is palpable or palpable for the operator touching the touch surface 12 .

[0021] according to figure 1 , the three pins 14 have been fully raised. The driver's feedback from this is that third gear is being engaged. Since the driver is in the process of accelerating, from a certain speed the fourth pin will be partially raised to provide the driver with a tactile shift suggestion as further information. In this way, t...

Abstract

The invention relates to an operating element for a motor vehicle, comprising a touch-sensitive surface. The invention is characterized in that the touch-sensitive surface (12) includes means (14) which can be controlled by actuators, is perceptible through an operator's sense of touch and provides feedback to the operator about the gear in which the motor vehicle transmission currently is.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an operating element of a motor vehicle of the type according to the preamble of claim 1 . Background technique [0002] In a motor vehicle with a fully automatic transmission, a gear knob is provided or optionally a control rocker is arranged on the steering wheel, which enables the driver to change gears of the transmission. The effect of the control rocker arranged on the steering wheel is that the driver does not need to take his hands off the steering wheel. [0003] However, the gear knob and / or control sticks do not provide feedback on the currently selected gear. In order to know which gear is currently engaged, the driver must look at the instrument panel and thus take his eyes off the road. [0004] Document DE 10 2010 032 774 A1 discloses a driver switch for actuating the shifting function of a transmission in a power train, which driver switch forms an elastic counterforce and / or latching position against the curr...
