- the actuating device can preferably have a smaller width in a direction perpendicular to the vehicle part than in a direction parallel to the vehicle part. In particular, a small adjustment path for actuating the actuating device can thus be provided and installation space in the direction of the vehicle part can be saved. In this way, an inexpensive actuating device can be created which, thanks to its compact design, can advantageously be integrated into an appearance of the vehicle and / or the vehicle part.
- the restoring means has an elastic material for deforming and / or bending the restoring means when the first housing element is moved from the actuating position to the rest position.
- the elastic material can, for example, comprise a plastic, in particular an elastomer or the like.
- the elasticity of the elastic material can be supported by a small cross section of the restoring means. It is thus conceivable that the restoring means has a smaller cross section than adjacent components and / or adjacent component sections.
- the resetting means When the resetting means is deformed, it can be provided, for example, that the resetting means is compressed and / or changes its shape in such a way that it enables the movement of the second housing element from the rest position into the actuation position. During the movement from the actuation position into the reset position, the reset means can deform back in order to exert a force on the second housing element and to enable or initiate the movement.

- the resetting means can detect a plurality of resetting elements which are arranged in a regular pattern and / or at regular intervals around the interior of the housing. This allows z. B. certain points that would structurally allow penetration of liquids are sealed.
- the return means z. B. O-ring-like, whereby a simple assembly of the return means between the housing elements can be made possible.
- the restoring means preferably runs in a circle around the interior of the housing.
- the switching element is a sensor element for inductive detection of the movement of the second housing element (also called LDC sensor for short), in particular wherein the sensor element is on a printed circuit board with several electrical components for detecting the Operating position of the second housing element is arranged.
- the sensor element can, for. B. have an oscillator in order to generate an electric field, in particular in the housing interior. Depending on a change in an electrical field parameter of the electrical field, it can thereby be determined by the sensor element whether the second housing element has moved in the direction of the sensor element.
- the switching means is preferably firmly connected to the first housing element in order to be able to detect the relative movement of the second housing element.
- the electrical components can in particular be designed to evaluate a sensor signal from the sensor element.
- Sensor electronics can thus be formed by the printed circuit board with the electrical components in order to be able to evaluate a sensor signal from the sensor element in the vicinity of the sensor element.

In particular, a movement path of the second housing element from the rest position into the actuation position can be significantly reduced by the sensor element for inductive detection.
- the maximum movement path can preferably be less than or equal to 1 mm, preferably less than or equal to 0.5 mm, particularly preferably approximately 0.1 mm. This results in the advantage that a brief actuation movement by the user can be sufficient to trigger the vehicle functions. Touching the actuating device by the user can be sufficient as an actuating action to trigger the vehicle function.
- the restoring means has an elastic material for a restoring movement and the actuation is carried out manually, a required force of the user increases as the movement path increases. If the movement path is therefore kept short by the inductive detection of the sensor element, a particularly comfortable actuation force can also be provided for the actuation device.

- it can e.g. B. not be necessary to provide an air outlet on the housing interior when the second housing element moves at least partially towards the first housing element.
- the switching means has a sensor element for capacitive detection of the movement of the second housing element.

- the counter electrode is fastened as a film, in particular in the housing interior, on the second housing element or is vapor-deposited on a side of the second housing element facing the housing interior.
- the counter-electrode can thus improve the accuracy of the detection of the movement of the second housing element.
- the required actuation travel can be minimized (or reduced) to an extreme, so that the volume of the housing interior remains more or less constant during actuation.
- the actuating device can be arranged in relation to the vehicle part in such a way that the vehicle part itself can interact with the sensor element as a counter electrode. It is thus conceivable that the vehicle part has a sheet metal through which an electrical field of the sensor element can be influenced. An additional counter electrode is not necessary in this case.
- the housing unit has a fastening area that runs around the housing interior and / or the freedom of movement, at least in sections, in which the second housing element is fastened to the first housing element in a positive and / or cohesive manner, in particular the first Housing element is fastened in the fastening area to the second housing element by welding, in particular in the form of a weld seam or at least one weld point.

- the fastening area moves along with the second housing element, in particular rigidly with respect to the second housing element. It is also conceivable that the fastening area remains rigid to the first housing element and / or to the vehicle part when the second housing element moves between the rest position and the actuation position. Furthermore, it is conceivable that the second housing element is guided in the fastening area on the first housing element and / or the relative movement of the second housing element to the first housing element is made possible in the fastening area. A sealing effect can be achieved at the same time through the circumferential fastening area.
- the fastening area can be designed in such a way that in the fastening area a penetration of liquid into the housing interior can be prevented, at least in sections or completely.
- an all-round fastening area enables intuitive operation of the Operating device be favored if the user can operate the operating device centrally.
- Welding the first and second housing elements also has the advantage that the housing unit can be produced in an automated manner. Furthermore, it can be a continuous weld seam which is designed to run completely around the interior of the housing. As a result, an advantageous sealing effect can be made possible in the fastening area in order to prevent liquid from penetrating into the interior of the housing.
- the freedom of movement for moving the second housing element from the rest position into the actuating position has a gap between the first and the second housing element which defines a maximum path of movement of the second housing element to the first housing element.
- the size of the gap can dictate the maximum path of movement.
- the first and / or second housing element can have a projection (as a stop) which extends in the direction of the opposite housing element.
- the gap can be formed, in particular on a side of the projection facing the second housing element.
- a stop for the movement can be formed in a simple manner by the gap and / or the projection in order to define the maximum movement path of the second housing element higher actuating force than intended, the actuating device, in particular components in the housing interior, is not damaged. Furthermore, inductive detection of the movement of the second housing element can thereby be simplified if the movement path is predetermined.
- the restoring means is arranged at the gap, ie in particular directly adjacent to the gap or in the gap, so that the gap is sealed by the restoring means.
- the restoring means can be arranged in the vicinity of the gap in order to seal the gap. Deformation of the resetting means can also be limited by the gap, so that the resetting means is not damaged even with increased actuation force of a user.
- the gap can run around the interior of the housing be trained. The gap creates a defined movement space that can be reliably sealed by the return means.
- the first housing element has a guide section in which a counter-guide section of the second housing element can be guided during the movement of the second housing element from the rest position into the actuating position, in particular the guide section on the first housing element and / or the Counter-guide portion on the second housing element, in particular around the housing interior and / or the freedom of movement, is at least partially formed circumferentially.
- the guide section and the counter-guide section preferably have mechanical play with respect to one another in order to prevent or reduce friction with one another.
- the guide section can in particular be designed as an opening, and the counter-guide section as an engagement element which engages in the opening and can thereby be guided within the opening.
- the guide section can preferably have a plurality of openings in which a plurality of engagement elements of the second housing element are guided in a guidable manner.
- the second housing element has one or more openings in which one or more engagement elements are guided in a guided manner.
- the path of movement of the second housing element can be steered relative to the first housing element by the guide section.
- a linear guide can thereby be provided.
- the guide section is preferably designed at least in sections or completely around the housing interior and / or rotationally symmetrically around a central axis of the actuating device.
- the first and second housing elements each have at least one or more form-fitting means for producing a form-fit connection between the first and second housing element in the rest position of the second housing element, in particular the restoring means for the second housing element in the rest position biases the first housing element counter to a direction of movement from the rest position into the actuation position.
- the interlocking means can preferably be clip elements through which a latching connection between the first and second housing element is made possible at least in the rest position. The pretensioning of the restoring means when the second housing element is in the rest position can cause the restoring means to maintain its sealing effect and thus remain pressed against the first and / or second housing element when the second housing element is in the rest position.
- An actuating force of the actuating device can preferably be defined by the prestressing of the restoring means in the rest position of the second housing element. This can thus be specified in a simple manner.
- the interlocking means also offer the advantage that a movement of the second housing element against the direction of movement from the rest position to the actuation position in the rest position is prevented in a simple manner, while at the same time a movement of the second housing element from the rest position into the actuation position is made possible. Furthermore, assembly can be simplified.
- the first housing element has a plug section for providing a switching signal of the switching means for the vehicle function, the plug section extending from the first housing element on a side opposite the second housing element.
- a connection option can be created in a simple manner in order to connect the switching means to vehicle electronics when the housing unit is mounted on the outside of the vehicle part.
- the connector section thus has in particular an interface function that enables the actuating device to be connected to various vehicle systems, e.g. B. to trigger different vehicle functions.
- sealing of the housing interior can be simplified by the plug section if the plug section is formed in one piece with the first housing element.
- electrical lines preferably in the form of electrical conductor tracks
- the switching means can be electrically connected to vehicle electronics.
- a seal of the electrical Lines can be made possible at the same time or at least be simplified with regard to the surroundings of the plug section.
- the first housing element has at least one fastening opening for passing through a fastening means for fastening the actuating device to the vehicle part.
- the fastening opening for passing through a fastening means can enable a simple fastening interface to enable the actuating device to be installed on different vehicle parts.
- the actuation device can be screwed to the vehicle part through the fastening openings, in particular if the vehicle part has fastening openings that correspond to the fastening openings.
