A motor vehicle has at least one electronic rearview mirror, particularly an exterior and/or side mirror, that has an indicator apparatus, particularly a display, for images recorded by an exterior camera that is provided particularly outside the motor vehicle. The indicator apparatus is in the form of a touchscreen, particularly one with multitouch capability.

Data and consequently settings in a motor vehicle are personalized in the present case using a central data processing device. The latter knows the positions of a motor vehicle or a plurality of motor vehicles and transmits these positions to a mobile communication appliance, which compares the transmitted positions with its own. If the result of the comparison is that the mobile communication appliance is situated in proximity to one of the motor vehicles, personalized data are transmitted, which can then be used to make personalized settings.

Method for providing user-specific settings in a motor vehicle and method for determining an assignment of a mobile communications device to a motor vehicle from a plurality of motor vehicles

Ground-based devices are provided which each have a transceiver apparatus and a data memory. Route data are stored in the data memory. This route data can be transmitted in a wireless fashion from the ground-based device to motor vehicles so that information relating to such a route is made available in the motor vehicles which are located outside the sensing range of a sensing apparatus of the motor vehicle.

Method for providing road data in a motor vehicle, and ground-based device

A person is to be assisted in planning a journey with an electric vehicle. Information relating to an overall region with destinations within reach of the electric vehicle are outputted. For this purpose, a starting region is determined, from which a boundary can be reached with the electric vehicle from a current vehicle location and based on a current state of charge of the energy storage device without recharging. Locations of charging stations are then determined in the starting region. For each charging station, the boundary of a region is determined that can be reached indirectly from the respective charging station without further recharging, based on a state of charge that changed when the electric vehicle was recharged. The overall region is composed of the starting region and regions that can be reached indirectly.
