Operating element for a proximity relating device for vehicles

摘要

An operating element is provided for a proximity regulating device for vehicles with an actuating lever. The operating element actuating lever has a rotatably mounted head that can assume a plurality of radial switch positions. If the head is in its initial switch position, the proximity regulating device sets an initial distance from a leading vehicle. As the result of the rotary movement from this initial switch position, one or more additional radial switch positions can be set for a near distance in which the proximity regulating device sets a set distance from a leading vehicle that is shorter than the initial distance. Finally, one or more radial switch positions are provided in which the proximity regulating device sets a far distance that is greater than the initial distance.
