METHOD FOR PROCESSING AN ACTUATION OF AN OPERATING ELEMENT IN A MOTOR VEHICLE
The invention relates to a method for processing an actuation of an operating element (1) in a motor vehicle, in particular an operating lever, wherein the operating element (1) is actuated at least by the driver of the motor vehicle, and a plurality of sensors (S1, S2, S3, S4), which are activated at least in part in the event of an actuation of the operating element (1), are arranged on the operating element (1). The method according to the invention is characterized in that the temporal order of activation of the sensors (S1, S2, S3, S4) during actuation of the operating element (1) is detected and, on the basis of the temporal order, it is determined whether the actuation is undesired, undesired actuations comprising unintended actuations and/or actuations by a passenger. The execution of one or a plurality of actions in the motor vehicle that are coupled to the actuation of the operating element (1) is blocked in the event of an undesired actuation.
