A method for operating a fuel cell system of a motor vehicle includes the steps of: i) detecting whether a washing process of the motor vehicle in a wash facility for cleaning the exterior of the motor vehicle is taking place or is imminent and ii) reducing the supply of an oxidizing agent to a fuel cell stack of the fuel cell system when it has been detected that a washing process is taking place or is imminent.

Method for operating a fuel cell system of a motor vehicle, and motor vehicle

A control device for controlling an electric motor vehicle drive having an electric drive, a first fuel-cell-based energy source, and a second fuel-cell-free energy source, has a human-machine interface for detecting a user input for selecting an operating mode for the motor vehicle drive and a control unit. The control unit is configured to receive a selection signal from the human-machine interface indicating a user input for selecting an operating mode for the motor vehicle drive and to control the motor vehicle drive in accordance with the selection signal to transfer the same into a first operating mode in which the first energy source is operated to supply the electric drive with electrical energy or to transfer the same into a second operating mode in which the first energy source is deactivated and in which the second energy source is operated to supply the electric drive with electrical energy.
