Method and arrangement for signalizing a deactivation of a driver assistance system
First Claim
1. A method for signalizing the controlled automatic deactivation of a driver assistance system when operating a motor vehicle steerable with steering manipulation means manually held by the driver while operating the motor vehicle, the method comprising the step of causing said signalizing to take place with a touch-sensitive signal generated in a controlled manner and said touch-sensitive signal being applied to said steering manipulation means where it is touch sensed by said driver automatically alerting said driver to said controlled automatic deactivation.

Abstract
The invention is directed to a method and an arrangement for signalizing the controlled deactivation of an assistance system during operation of motor vehicles (10) which are steerable by a steering manipulation device (36). The method is characterized in that the signalization takes place via a touch-sensitive signal generated in a controlled manner in the steering manipulation means (36). For this purpose, the arrangement includes actuating means (38, 78) which impresses a touch-sensitive signal on the steering manipulation device (36) with the signal being generated in a controlled manner.

- 4. An arrangement for signalizing the controlled deactivation of a driver assistance system during operation of a motor vehicle steerable with steering manipulation means manually held by the driver while operating the motor vehicle, the arrangement comprising actuating means for impressing a controlledly generated touch-sensitive signal onto said steering manipulation means where it is touch sensed by said driver automatically alerting said driver to said deactivation.

13. A method for signalizing the controlled automatic deactivation of a driver assistance system when operating a motor vehicle steerable with steering manipulation means manually held by the driver while operating the motor vehicle, the method comprising the step of causing said signalizing to take place with a touch-sensitive signal generated in a controlled manner and said touch-sensitive signal being applied to said steering manipulation means as a pulse temporarily deflecting said steering manipulation means out of an original position thereof with the deflection being touch sensed by said driver automatically alerting said driver to said controlled automatic deactivation.
