A method and associated safety system are provided for the recognition of defects in a drive system of a motor vehicle, having an electronically controllable brake control system and having at least one electronically controlled driving engine, an electronically controllable clutch and/or having an electronically controllable transmission. An electronic braking control device is assigned to the brake control system, which braking control device is connected with an independent monitoring module. The independent monitoring module checks for an occurrence of an implausible braking torque, for detecting a defect in the drive system.

Method and safety concept for recognizing defects in a drive system of a motor vehicle

An aerodynamically effective device for a motor vehicle has an air guide element that can be moved between a position of rest and at least one operating position, a drive unit for moving the air guide element, and a control unit. The control unit is adapted to instruct the drive unit to move the air guide element from the position of rest into the operating position, on reaching a first vehicle speed threshold value. Furthermore, the control unit is adapted to carry out a function test of the drive unit below the first vehicle speed threshold value.
