Abstract

The invention relates to a sensor system (10) for a movable part (1) of a vehicle (3), comprising: an actuating element (20) comprising at least one deformation region (40) in which an activation action can be sensed by an operator (5), at least one inductive activation means (60) arranged in the deformation region (40), and at least one sensor device (30) arranged on the actuating element (20) or on the movable part (1) for inductance measurement on the activation means (60). For this purpose, according to the invention, at least one shielding element (34) is provided for the at least one sensor device (30) in order to avoid interferences during the inductance measurement.
