1. A display-and-control system (1) of a motor vehicle (2), comprising:
individual display devices (3) that include:
a central main display device (12) for displaying at least one main control parameter,
a left driver activatable lateral display device (13) disposed laterally left of the central main display device (12) and configured for displaying an upper left additional control parameter (15II) and a lower left additional control parameter (15III) below the upper left additional control parameter (15II),
a right driver activatable lateral display device (13R) disposed laterally right of the central main display device (12) for displaying an upper right additional control parameter (15I) and a lower right additional control parameter (15IV) below the upper right additional control parameter (15I), the left and right driver activatable lateral display devices (13L, 13R) being configured as interactive graphics for displaying the respective additional control parameters (15I, 15II, 15III, 15IV) when the at least one driver activatable lateral display device (13) has been driver activated; and
a multi-function steering wheel (6) having:
a rim (7),
a hub (8),
multiple spokes (9) connecting the hub (8) to the rim (7),
an upper left driver activatable control device (10II) arranged in a left satellite space (11L) bounded by two of the spokes (9) and the rim (7) on the multi-function steering wheel (6) and a lower left driver activatable control device (10III) arranged in the left satellite space (11L) below the upper left driver activatable control device (10II), the upper and lower left driver activable control devices (10II, 10III) being configured respectively to activate the upper left additional control parameter (15II) and the lower left additional control parameter (15III) of the left driver activatable lateral display device (13L) when a predetermined driving mode has been selected,
an upper right driver activatable control device (10I) arranged in a right satellite space (11R) bounded by two of the spokes (9) and the rim (7) on the multi-function steering wheel (6) and a lower right driver activatable control device (10IV) arranged in the right satellite space (11R) below the upper right driver activatable control device (10I), the upper and lower right driver actuatable control devices (10I, 10IV) being configured respectively to activate the upper right additional control parameter (15I) and the lower right additional control parameter (15IV) of the right driver activatable lateral display device (13R) when the predetermined driving mode has been selected,
wherein a spatial arrangement of the control devices (10I, 10II, 10III, 10IV) on the multifunction steering wheel (6) conforms to a spatial arrangement of the control parameters (15I, 15II, 15III, 15IV) on the left and right driver activatable lateral display devices (13L, 13R).
