Described are a method and a device for signaling information relevant for the operation of a motor vehicle which make it possible for the vehicle's driver to receive information about the vehicle's optimum engine efficiency. The specified information is thus formed by an operating point of a drive unit of the vehicle. A haptic signal is formed at a control element of the vehicle, an accelerator pedal in particular, as a function of the operating point.

Method and device for signaling of relevant information for the operation of a motor vehicle

A method and a device for signaling several items of information relevant for operating a motor vehicle are provided, which are registered by the driver of the vehicle in a particularly reliable manner, and which do not distract the driver from the traffic. To this end, different items of information are represented by unambiguous haptic signals, particularly having a maximum, at different positions of a control element of the vehicle, particularly an accelerator pedal.

Method and device for signaling several pieces of information that are relevant for operating a motor vehicle

In a method for operating a motor vehicle, a target region is determined which is disposed forward of the motor vehicle and an operating recommendation () is outputted to the driver in dependence upon the detection. An arrival probability (PCOL) of the motor vehicle at the target region can be determined and the operating recommendation () is outputted to the driver when the arrival probability (PCOL) reaches at least a limit value (PLIM) ().
