A motor vehicle has a processor device to run application programs in a first communication zone and a storage device for vehicle control data, by which a driving behavior of the motor vehicle is determined. The storage device is arranged in a second communication zone of the motor vehicle. In order to allow a modification of the vehicle control data at a later stage using an application program and thus provide protection against an undesired manipulation of the vehicle control data, the first and the second communication zones are coupled by a monitoring device that forwards new data, which an application program is attempting to transmit from the first communication zone into the second communication zone, to the second communication zone only if the monitoring device has detected that the new data leads to a safe motor vehicle driving behavior defined by a specified safety criterion.

In a vehicle having a battery-powered drive assembly, the charging socket for recharging the battery can be closed by a flap connected to the central locking system of the vehicle. When the charging plug is removed from the charging socket, the lock of the flap is temporarily opened by the control device of the central locking system, such that said flap can be moved into the lockable closed position and is then locked automatically.
