Rear end of a motor vehicle

A display is described which is arranged in a motor vehicle in the area of the windshield. A sun visor will not be required when electrochromic glass is used in the case of the windshield. This also eliminates the make-up mirror. A camera is therefore integrated into the display such that an object photographed by the camera is shown on the display as a mirror image.

Display arranged in a motor vehicle

The invention relates to a side door of a passenger vehicle, which for opening purposes, following a sideways movement which moves the side door out of the door aperture, is actuated by auxiliary forces to pivot forwards and upwards around a horizontally aligned, bodywork-mounted bearing point, and it is proposed, in order to provide quick release from the A-pillar and to create the preconditions for a conveniently operating movement mechanism with expedient accommodation for the latter, that in the horizontal plane, in relation to the transverse direction of the vehicle, the pivot axis of the bearing point respectively runs at an angle, which does not exceed for example 25.degree. in each case, in the anticlockwise direction on the left-hand side and in the clockwise direction on the right-hand side.

Configuration of a lever

A method selects one of several equivalent operating elements for controlling the lengthwise and/or transverse dynamics of a motor vehicle. Inadvertent control of the lengthwise and/or transverse dynamics of the motor vehicle is prevented and manual switching between various operating elements is allowed without a transition to be safely feasible for the participants even while driving. The selected operating element is activated simultaneously when the previous operating element is deactivated, after activation of the selected operating element has been made possible by a selector switch. The method therefore takes place in two steps, with activation of an operating element first being made possible by activating a selector switch. The actual activation takes place at a later point in time, namely when the operating element to be activated is in fact actuated to control the lengthwise and/or transverse movement of the vehicle.
