The disclosure relates to a driver assistance system for a motor vehicle. The driver assistance system includes a wrong-way driving detection device that detects underway or imminent wrong-way driving of the motor vehicle. The driver assistance system also includes an output device that outputs a signal to a driver of the motor vehicle indicative of a wrong-way driving detection. The driver assistance system, via the output device, is configured to modify an operating state of the infotainment device according to the wrong-way driving detection.

Driver assistance system

Systems and methods for improving operation of a vehicle are presented. In one example, vehicle brakes are held to reduce the possibility of vehicle motion and stopping of engine rotation is prevented until confirmation of vehicle hold is present. The approach may allow an engine to remain in an off state for a longer period of time while reducing the possibility of vehicle motion.
