Abstract: A device for operating functions of a motor vehicle, with an operation control, which is designed for outputting control commands to further motor vehicle devices is provided. The control commands can be generated as a function of two or a plurality of simultaneous operation inputs, and a first touch-sensitive operating surface connected to the operation control in a signal-conducting manner, by means of which operating inputs can be transmitted to the operation control. At least one second touch-sensitive operating surface connected to the operation control in a signal-conducting manner is also provided.

Abstract: A warning system of a vehicle is provided. The warning system includes a haptic warning signaler, a control module, and a haptic sensor. The haptic warning signaler is associated with the haptic sensor for recording a haptic receptiveness. For a traffic or operating situation of the vehicle ranked as critical, the control module activates the haptic warning signaler if the haptic sensor signals a haptic receptiveness to the control module. A method for warning occupants of a vehicle also is provided.

Abstract: A driver assistance system for a motor vehicle encompasses at least one foot sensor for monitoring the foot of a driver, a control unit for deciding on a safety measure based on a detection result of the foot sensor, and an environmental sensor to detect an approach toward an outside obstacle, and is set up to only implement the safety measure if a detection result of the environmental sensor indicates a danger that contact will be made with the obstacle.

Abstract: A vehicle is provided having a camera, in particular a reversing camera, and a cleaning device, which is used for cleaning an optical surface that interacts with the camera. The cleaning device has a cleaning element, which has a cleaning action on the optical surface due to a relative motion between the cleaning element and optical surface. Additionally or alternatively, the cleaning device has a moistening unit, by which a liquid media stream can be applied against the optical surface.
