Abstract

A detection device detects a position at which a touch-sensitive operator control unit is touched by an object by detecting a pressure (p) which is applied to the touch-sensitive operator control unit by the object at the position. In addition, a speed (v) and/or an acceleration (a) of the motor vehicle is detected and a pressure threshold value (p) is predefined as a function of speed (v) and/or accelerations (a) of the motor vehicle. The method determines whether the detected pressure (p) is higher than the predefined pressure threshold value (p) and triggers a function (F), assigned to the detected position, of the motor vehicle exclusively if the detected pressure (p) is higher than the predefined pressure threshold value (p).
