Abstract
An operating device of a motor vehicle has at least one display unit for displaying changeable information. Gaze detection is used to check whether the operator's gaze is directed at the at least one display unit. An input command in a first group of input commands is not executed if the operator's gaze is not directed at the at least one display unit for a certain time period during the input command. For a second group of input commands, the input command is executed irrespective of gaze detection.
