Abstract
Switching apparatus including a switch is used for the control of a power-assisted convertible top of a motor vehicle which can be swivelled from a closed position into an opened position. For reasons of safety, the switch is disposed so that it can be used only when the motor vehicle is not moving. In preferred embodiments, the switch is disposed in a recess which is accessible only when a vehicle brake lever is in a brake engaged position.
