A method for operating a motor vehicle. A map of corresponding event locations for one or more high load events is provided, wherein the one or more high load events have historically led to an above-average load on a vehicle component. A current position and/or route of the motor vehicle is determined. A high load event is identified from among the one or more high load events as likely to be relevant to the motor vehicle during the current operation. The identification of the high load event is based on the current position and/or route of the motor vehicle. The vehicle component is thermally preconditioned, via a corresponding automatic control of at least one device of the motor vehicle, before the motor vehicle has reached the corresponding event location of the identified high load event.

A method for automatically setting an operating mode of a hybrid vehicle includes determining whether a distance to the destination is greater than a purely electrically travelable range of the hybrid vehicle, wherein the hybrid vehicle is automatically put into a hybrid mode if the distance to the destination is greater than the purely electrically travelable range of the hybrid vehicle, and the hybrid vehicle is automatically put into a purely electrical drive mode if the distance to the destination is not greater than the purely electrically travelable range of the hybrid vehicle. A corresponding control device and hybrid vehicle are also disclosed.

A refuelling assistance device that determines one of the following scenarios: (a) that consecutive refuelling operations of a first vehicle at corresponding different fuel stations have taken place without a communication link, and (b) that consecutive refuelling operations at a first fuel station for corresponding different vehicles have taken place without the communication link. In response to determining scenario (a), the control unit causes a communication module of the first vehicle to be checked for establishment of the communication link. In response to determining scenario (b), the control unit causes a communication module of the first fuel station to be checked for establishment of the communication link.
