Operating process for vehicle steering wheel involves detecting steering angle and releasing or locking functions unit by operating element depending on detected angle

摘要

The operating process for a vehicle steering wheel (5) with an operating element (6) and a functions unit (2) involves detecting the steering angle (4) and releasing or locking the functions unit by means of the operating element, depending on the detected angle. Control of the functions unit may be released when the detected steering angle is below a certain threshold. The control unit (9) is coupled to the steering angle detection device at an interface (10).
