First Claim
1. A switching device for switching a motor in a vehicle, on and off, the device comprising:
- a housing;
an operating element;
a switch element; and
a display;
wherein the display is arranged on the operating element,wherein the switch element is shaped like a film and is disposed in a motor vehicle, the switch element being interposed between the housing and the display, and is activatable by the operating element,wherein at least one switch signal can be generated for a control unit by means of the switch element; and
wherein the switch element is a piezoelectric switch, the piezoelectric switch being arranged in such a way that it generates the switch signal on insertion of the operating element into the housing,the display is connected by a bus system to at least one information source wherein the bus system provides unidirectional and/or bidirectional exchange of at least one type of information between the display and the information source, the information being displayable on the display.
