Abstract

An operator control device for operating a plurality of functions, in particular, in a vehicle, has at least a first rotary actuator and a second rotary actuator. A respective rotary actuator is assigned a function of the vehicle. The first rotary actuator has a first rotary body and a first operator control body, where the first operator control body is mechanically coupled with the first rotary body. The second rotary actuator has a second rotary body and a second operator control body, where the second operator control body is mechanically coupled with the second rotary body. The first rotary body and the second rotary body are arranged coaxially in each other such that they can be rotated about a common axis of rotation. At least one operator control body has a grip area that is designed in a lever-like manner.
