Steering wheel assembly for a motor vehicle
First Claim
1. A steering wheel assembly for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a steering wheel;
a display device arranged on the steering wheel and configured to cooperate with a sensor device arranged on the motor vehicle for detecting at least one parameter of a motor vehicle, the display device displaying the parameter detected by the sensor device;
a functional unit of the motor vehicle for forwarding or converting energy and/or information being coupled to the sensor device, the functional unit being configured to display to a driver via the display device a suggestion for adjusting a parameter of the motor vehicle; and
an actuator unit of the motor vehicle being associated with the functional unit, by which the parameter may be adjusted according to the suggestion of the functional unit;
wherein the parameter includes a distance from a vehicle ahead;
wherein the suggestion offers a distance from a vehicle ahead for acceptance, the acceptance of the suggestion affecting the regulation of the speed of the motor vehicle; and
wherein the actuator unit is arranged on the steering wheel and is configured for accepting and declining the suggestion by action on the actuator unit.

Abstract
A steering wheel assembly for a motor vehicle comprises a steering wheel and a display device mounted on the steering wheel. The display device is functionally linked with a sensor device to be mounted on the motor vehicle for detecting a parameter of the motor vehicle and adapted to display the parameter detected by the sensor device. The sensor device is coupled to a functional unit of the motor vehicle for passing on or converting energy and/or information, the functional unit being adapted and configured to display to a driver a suggestion for adjusting the parameter via the display device. The functional unit is associated with an actuator unit of the motor vehicle, which is used to adjust the parameter in accordance with the suggestion displayed by the functional unit.
