Abstract
The present invention relates to a control module for activating and/or deactivating functionalities of an apparatus, a machine or a vehicle, which has: control component (1) which can be manipulated by the user for the purpose of controlling at least one functionality, haptic control device (2) making it possible t1 generate a return force on the control component, the return force being antagonistic to the displacement of control component (1) and perceptible by the user, characterized by the fact that it has a mechanical indexing means for returning and maintaining control component (1), in the absence of a manipulation of control component (1), in at least one predefined stable indexing position.
