A method is provided for operating a motor vehicle which has at least one electric machine as a driving device. The method includes examining a current driving situation to determine whether a target position can be reached with a target speed by coasting; displaying a message to a driver of the motor vehicle if the target position can be reached by coasting; detecting a reaction time of the driver from the message up to the initiation of a coasting process by the driver; and actuating the electric machine as a generator to generate a deceleration torque if the reaction time exceeds a predefinable limiting value.

The invention relates to a method for operating a vehicle with a drive device () which has at least one internal combustion engine () as a drive machine, wherein a drive torque requested by a driver of the vehicle () is implemented by operating at least the internal combustion engine () on a roadway (), comprising the following steps: a) Monitoring the roadway () for road users () travelling ahead, by means of a surroundings sensor system (), b) Monitoring a driver of the vehicle () by means of a state sensor system () with respect to his request to carry out an overtaking process in order to overtake a detected road user () travelling ahead, and if a request to carry out an overtaking process has been detected, c) Actuating the drive device () to prepare the overtaking process in such a way that before the overtaking process is carried out a torque reserve of the internal combustion engine () is built up.
