Abstract

A remote control device for a motor vehicle has a transmitting unit to transmit at least one signal, for remote control of at least one component of the motor vehicle. A switch effects transmission of the signal by operating the switch. A position detection device is provided, by which an actual position of the remote control device relative to a specifiable reference position can be detected. The signal is transmitted on the basis of the detected actual position. A method operates such a remote control device.
