Resetting device for a steering-column switch unit of a motor vehicle, and motor vehicle

Abstract

The invention relates to a resetting device () for a steering-column switch unit () of a motor vehicle, having a triggering element () by means of which an actuating lever () of the steering-column switch unit () can be moved from an actuated position into an initial position, having an intermediate piece () on which the triggering element () is mounted so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis () between a rest position and a triggering position in which the actuating lever () can be moved into the initial position, wherein the triggering element () is furthermore mounted on the intermediate piece () so as to be displaceable in a sliding direction () perpendicular to the pivot axis (), having a spring element () for generating a spring force which acts parallel to the sliding direction () and with which the triggering element () is arranged under preload on the intermediate piece (), and having a switch override protection unit () with at least one switch override spring () which, in a switch override situation, permits a movement of the intermediate piece () relative to the actuating lever (), wherein the at least one switch override spring () and the spring element () are arranged adjacent to one another in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction ().
