Abstract
An operating element in a motor vehicle having a hollow gripping section which can be gripped by an occupant, is arranged above the leg space of the motor vehicle and is provided in a ventilatable manner with air outlet openings to which air is guided through an air guiding duct which flows through air outlet openings into the occupant compartment. The air guiding duct starts in the leg space of the occupant compartment, and, from the gripping section heated by the effect of the sun, warmer air can flow off through the air outlet openings into the occupant compartment. By way of the air guiding duct, cooler air from the leg space is taken into the gripping suction.
