The invention relates to a method for operating a motor vehicle control panel which comprises a camera system (22) and a gesture recognition device (46). A person (14) gesticulating using at at least one arm (28, 30, 32, 34) is filmed by the camera system (22) in the inside of the vehicle (12), and description data (54, 56) relating to a position and/or a sequence of movements of the at least one gesticulating arm (28, 30, 32, 34) is determined by the gesture recognition device (46) based on the image data (V) of the camera system (22) and is associated with a control gesture. At least one situation parameter, which describes a gesticulation context of the person (14), is determined by means of a plausibility device (48) which decides whether the person (14), if at all, performs a possible control gesture or only a gesture which is to be ignored and therefor not for a control command. If it is determined that it is a possible control gesture, a control command (S) is generated for the control gesture recognized by the gesture recognition device (46). If it is determined that it is a gesture to ignore, the control command (S) is not emitted.
