Information reproduction system for a vehicle, having the following features: a display device that is designed to display a video or control signal (18, 18a), the display device comprising a touch-sensitive display area that is designed to produce a selection signal; an input device that is designed to receive the selection signal; a processor that is designed to produce the video or control signal, so that a status bar, which is arranged at one edge of the touch-sensitive display area of the display device, and a display region that adjoins the status bar are reproduced on the touch-sensitive display area by the display device on the basis of the video or control signal (18, 18a), wherein the selection signal has information about a start and an end of a movement, by a user, that continuously touches the display area of the display device, the start being situated in the region of the status bar and the end being situated in the display region, wherein the processor is designed to produce the video or control signal (18, 18a) on the basis of the selection signal, so that a content in a content category that is displayed so as to be selectable at the location of the start is reproduced by the display device in at least one subregion (26a, 26b) of the display region, which subregion is situated at least to some extent in a half of the display region that comprises the end, with an information content that is extended in comparison with the information content displayed in the status bar; a further additional display unit, wherein the selection signal has additional information about a further start, which is situated within a subregion (26a, 26b) that reproduces a content in a content category, and a further end, which is situated closer than a predefined distance to the right-hand or left-hand edge of the display area of the display device as seen by a user, of a continuously touching movement, the processor being designed to produce a further video or control signal on the basis of the selection signal, so that at least part of the content of the subregion (26a, 26b) having the start is reproduced on the further additional display unit; and an output device that is designed to provide the video or control signal (18, 18a) for the display device; wherein the processor is designed to produce the video or control signal (18, 18a), so that the status bar is reproduced by the display device at the upper edge, as seen by the user, of the display area of the display device, wherein, in order to hide the status bar, the status bar is touched without subsequent movement, and the touch in this case is made in an empty region of the status bar that has no associated information category, or the start of a touching movement begins just beneath the status bar, and the touching movement is performed in an upward direction. a display device that is designed to display a video or control signal (18, 18a), the display device comprising a touch-sensitive display area that is designed to produce a selection signal;
