Claim:
1. A resetting device for a steering-column switch unit of a motor vehicle, comprising: a triggering element by which an actuating lever of the steering-column switch unit is moved from an actuated position into an initial position, having an intermediate piece on which the triggering element is mounted so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis between a rest position and a triggering position in which the actuating lever can be moved into the initial position, wherein the triggering element is further mounted on the intermediate piece so as to be displaceable in a sliding direction perpendicular to the pivot axis, having a spring element for generating a spring force which acts parallel to the sliding direction and with which the triggering element is arranged under preload on the intermediate piece, and having a switch override protection unit with at least one switch override spring which, in a switch override situation, permits a movement of the intermediate piece relative to the actuating lever, and wherein the at least one switch override spring and the spring element are arranged adjacent to one another in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction, and wherein the switch override protection unit is arranged on a detent part which has a detent structure for the engagement of the actuating lever with detent action.
