Abstract: An operating element for operating an entertainment system for a motor vehicle, having an interface to a media playback unit and at least one panelling element for a vehicle compartment panelling. The operating element is an element of the panelling element. The operating element is configured for an entertainment system and is able to be stowed easily in a motor vehicle.

Abstract: A battery arrangement for a motor vehicle, with a battery which has a battery housing and a plurality of battery cells. The battery cells are arranged in the battery housing. A protective plate is arranged at least on one side of the battery. A damage detection apparatus has a damage indicator. The damage indicator is arranged on the protective plate. The damage indicator is embedded into the protective plate.

Abstract: An operating interface (10) is in an interior of a vehicle and has a surface (11) that is visible in the interior. The operating interface (10) has an operating element (14) that can be shifted relative to the surface (11) between resting and operating positions. The operating element (14) has a display (17) that is inactive in the resting position and does not indicate a functional assignment of the operating element (14). However, the display (17) is active in the operating position and indicates a functional assignment of the operating element (14). The operating element (14) has a first orientation to the surface body (11) when in the operating position and has a second orientation to the surface body (11) when in the resting position. A gap (19) is formed between the operating element (14) and the surface body (11) and surrounds the operating element (14).

Abstract: A battery module includes a battery module housing and a plurality of battery cells accommodated by the battery module housing. The battery module housing includes a main component for accommodating the battery cells and at least one additional component. The main component is of integral design and surrounds the battery cells from four sides. The additional component includes recesses for receiving a medium for temperature control. The recesses are closed by connecting the additional component to the main component to form media-carrying ducts. The main component is of open design on averted end sides. The battery cells are arranged at least substantially within the space which is surrounded by the main component.
