Abstract
A device for manipulating an actuator () of an air vent (), wherein, for generating as required an adjustment movement acting on the actuator (), the device has a preferably manually actuable actuating element () and a drive mechanism () with a motor drive (). The drive mechanism () is assigned a resetting mechanism which is designed to make an adjustment movement, brought about previously by the drive (), of the actuator () relative to the housing () of the air vent () reversible again, if required, such that the actuator () is then again in a position relative to the housing () of the air vent () that was set previously by actuation of the actuating element ().
