Abstract
A method for setting an ergonomic position of a center console with an arm rest and with one or more operating elements separate from the arm rest in a vehicle, includes detecting an arm of a driver facing the centre console with a forearm and at least areas of an upper arm using one or more optical sensors; determining at least an elbow position and a hand position of the arm of the driver using sensor data of the sensors by means of a suitable evaluation method; and automatically moving the arm rest of the centre console using the positioning unit based on the determined elbow positions and hand positions at least vertical as well as parallel to the vehicle axis so that after moving an ergonomic position of the arm is achieved.
