Abstract
A method for operates an operator control device for a motor vehicle. The operator control device has a rotary actuator which is rotatably mounted on a holding element, and a coding element, by detecting a first actual sensor value using coding of the coding element in the current rotational position of the rotary actuator. The method involves determining a current rotational angle between the rotary actuator and the holding element on the basis of the detected first actual sensor value, respectively providing at least one setpoint sensor value at predetermined rotational angles between the rotary actuator and the holding element, assigning the detected first actual sensor value to one of the at least one setpoint sensor valves, and adapting the first actual sensor value to the setpoint sensor value, assigned thereto, for the determination of the current rotational angle.
