Abstract

A method for detecting an adjusting movement of an adjusting element located on a display area in a motor vehicle, the adjusting element serving for operating at least one function. At least part of the light emitted from the display area is used for detecting the adjusting movement of the adjusting element. This makes a reliable detection of the adjusting movement possible. A compact and robust device for carrying out the method is also disclosed.
