A method for operating a motor vehicle in a parking procedure is provided, wherein the motor vehicle comprises at least one parking assistance function. The method comprises signaling an availability of support by the parking assistance function by at least temporary actuator-based application of at least one perceivable steering torque, wherein the steering torque is applied as an additional steering torque that acts in the direction of a parking space.

Method for operating a motor vehicle

The invention relates to a motor vehicle and to a method for operating a motor vehicle for carrying out a parking procedure, wherein the motor vehicle comprises at least a first parking assistance function and a second parking assistance function, which may be selected as desired, and wherein the method comprises: detecting a gripping status of a steering handle of the motor vehicle by a driver; and automatically selecting the first or the second parking assistance function depending on the gripping status.

Automatic selection of one of multiple parking assistance functions in a motor vehicle

The invention relates to a method for establishing the presence of a misalignment of at least one sensor within a sensor group with two or more sensors which detects objects in the surroundings of a motor vehicle, wherein at least two of the sensors differ from each other in their measuring principle and the measurement signals from the sensors are compared with each other.

Method for establishing the presence of a misalignment of at least one sensor within a sensor group

A method for operating a transportation vehicle having a control unit for electrically actuating an electromechanical coupling unit of a steering system of the transportation vehicle, wherein the control unit actuates the coupling unit according to a steering wheel characteristic curve which forms a ratio between a wheel lock angle of wheels of the transportation vehicle and a steering wheel rotational angle which is assumed by a steering wheel of the transportation vehicle, wherein a normal steering wheel characteristic curve is made available as a standard setting of the steering wheel characteristic curve in the control unit.
