Abstract

An arrangement of operating controls of vehicle components has functions to be adjusted for the switched-on vehicle components represented on a display. These functions are rendered visible by a viewing window. In the immediate spatial vicinity of these viewing windows, operating parts are mounted. The operating of these parts switches the function to be adjusted and is indicated through the associated viewing window.
