Abstract
A device for generating a signal which can be haptically perceived by a user of a vehicle includes a control device, a technical device and a storage device. The control device communicates with an external apparatus to receive a triggering signal. The technical device for the vehicle has an actuator for generating the signal which can be haptically perceived. The storage device stores a plurality of different patterns for controlling the actuator depending on user-specific data and/or data relating to an environment of the technical device. The control device uses a selected pattern of the stored patterns depending on the user-specific data and/or the data relating to an environment of the technical device, and controls the at least one actuator according to the selected pattern upon receiving the triggering signal from the external apparatus. The data relating to the environment is acquired using an acquisition device.
