A rigid lever is at least partially surrounded by a lever cap that includes at least one touch sensor. The touch sensor enables function selection through a defined user contact. A monitoring unit, connected to the touch sensor for data transmission, detects the selected function and relays it via an interface to a motor vehicle control device, facilitating execution of an action corresponding to the selected function.",
