Method for the representation and/or handling of information on a graphical representation device of a car, the method involving the representation of strips and tabs, wherein a tab is an information display space and a strip is a fringe on the end section of a tab, wherein the method comprises the steps of: - representing a first strip by means of the graphical representation device, wherein the first strip is located on a first side of said graphical representation device and wherein the first strip can be activated by a user by means of an input device, wherein said input device is a touch screen, - generating graphical data in said graphical representation device by means of a control device, in response to an activation of said first strip, wherein generating graphical data comprises displaying a first tab, wherein the first tab is displayed following the first strip that has been activated, wherein the first tab displays and gathers data, wherein the first tab is displayed covering contents of said graphical representation device from the first side of the graphical representation device, displaying the information contained in the first tab without the first strip that has been activated reaching the opposite side of said graphical representation device, wherein the method is characterized by comprising the additional steps of: - representing a second strip by means of the graphical representation device, wherein the second strip is located on the first side of the graphical representation device, wherein the second strip can be activated by a user by means of the input device, wherein the second strip is overlapping the first tab, the width of the second strip being smaller or equal to the width of the first tab it overlaps, wherein representing the second strip comprises, in response to an activation of said second strip, displaying a second tab following the second strip, wherein the second tab covers the content of the first tab it overlaps, until all the information contained in the second tab is shown, but without overlapping the first strip of the first tab; wherein the method comprises an additional step of: - detecting a further activation of the first strip using the input device, and - generating graphical data in the graphical representation device by means of the control device, in response to the further activation of the first strip, wherein generating graphical data comprises retracting the first tab and any overlapping tabs that have been activated from the first side, wherein the retracting comprises hiding the first tab and any overlapping tabs that have been activated from the first side on the first side, and only representing the first strip in the graphical representation device. - representing a first strip by means of the graphical representation device, wherein the first strip is located on a first side of said graphical representation device and wherein the first strip can be activated by a user by means of an input device, wherein said input device is a touch screen, - generating graphical data in said graphical representation device by means of a control device, in response to an activation of said first strip, wherein generating graphical data comprises displaying a first tab, wherein the first tab is displayed following the first strip that has been activated, wherein the first tab displays and gathers data, wherein the first tab is displayed covering contents of said graphical representation device from the first side of the graphical representation device, displaying the information contained in the first tab without the first strip that has been activated reaching the opposite side of said graphical representation device, - representing a second strip by means of the graphical representation device, wherein the second strip is located on the first side of the graphical representation device, wherein the second strip can be activated by a user by means of the input device, - detecting a further activation of the first strip using the input device, and - generating graphical data in the graphical representation device by means of the control device, in response to the further activation of the first strip, wherein generating graphical data comprises retracting the first tab and any overlapping tabs that have been activated from the first side, wherein the retracting comprises hiding the first tab and any overlapping tabs that have been activated from the first side on the first side, and only representing the first strip in the graphical representation device.
