A method for operating functional unit of a motor vehicle using an identification system, in which at least a first authorization is requested for operating the functional unit and an identification signal is transmitted to an identification device by an identification element of the identification system. The functional unit is operated after receiving and the functional unit is only operated in a second authorization. The second authorization is generated by the identification device. Using the identification device, a first signal duration of the identification signal is determined for determining a first spacing of the identification element at a first point in time, and a second signal duration of the identification signal is determined for determining a second spacing of the identification element at a second point in time, and the second authorization is generated depending on a comparison.
