A control system including a touch-sensitive surface and an actuator fixed to the touch-sensitive surface, the actuator having a control element rotatable relative to the touch-sensitive surface between at least two selection positions. The actuator has a first sensor element rotationally fixed to the control element and coupled to the touch-sensitive surface in all selection positions, and a second sensor element. The control element is translationally movable relative to the touch-sensitive surface between a selected position and a release position. The second sensor element is rotationally fixed to the element and uncoupled from the touch-sensitive surface in the selected position and coupled to the touch-sensitive surface in the release position.
