The invention relates to a method for operating a refrigerant circuit (10) of a motor vehicle. A compressor (16) which is arranged in the main section (14) of the refrigerant circuit (10) conveys a minimum mass flow of refrigerant, and at least one parameter is detected which indicates the refrigerating capacity of a first evaporator (20) arranged in the main section (14). The first evaporator (20) provides the refrigerating capacity as a result of being supplied with refrigerant which is expanded by means of a first expansion element (22). On the basis of the refrigerating capacity of the first evaporator (20), said refrigerating capacity being provided for the minimum mass flow, a second expansion element (36) can be opened which is arranged in a parallel section (30) upstream of a second evaporator (38) arranged in said parallel section (30). Alternatively or in addition thereto, at least one measure which differs from the process of opening the second expansion element (36) is carried out on the basis of the refrigerating capacity of the first evaporator (20), said method leading to an increase of the heat absorption carried out by the refrigerant.
The invention relates to an operating device (3) for a motor vehicle, which has an in particular touch-sensitive planar element (4) for detecting control commands of a user on the planar element (4), wherein the planar element (4) is designed to be elastically deformable and is held on a supporting body (6). According to the invention, a layer (9) made from an elastically deformable soft material is arranged between the supporting body (6) and the planar element (4).
