A method for operating a motor vehicle with regard to a parking operation to be carried out in a parking space, wherein the motor vehicle comprises a vehicle system designed to detect and select the parking space to be used from a plurality of candidate parking options, wherein at least one candidate parking option is associated with a transmitting device, from which the motor vehicle receives permissibility information describing the permissibility of parking the motor vehicle on the candidate parking option and/or of driving through at least a portion of a path leading to the candidate parking option, wherein the selection of the parking space to be used occurs dependent on the permissibility information.

A data processing unit comprises a first interface for exchanging first information with at least one motor vehicle and a second interface for exchanging second information with a plurality of charging stations for charging an energy storage device of a first motor vehicle. The first interface is configured to exchange the first information with a plurality of motor vehicles, and the data processing unit is configured, when receiving the first information relating to a charge status at the point in time of a desired charging of the energy storage device and a maximum charging power of the at least one motor vehicle, and the second information relating to a charging power available from at least at one charging station at a predetermined point in time, to create a strategy by which a particular motor vehicle is assigned to a particular charging station for a point in time for charging-start.

A method for operating a drive device of a motor vehicle is disclosed. The drive device has a compressor, which can be driven by an electric motor for supplying combustion fresh gas to an internal combustion engine of the motor vehicle. At a power increase of the internal combustion engine, the compressor is driven with the electric motor so that a torque curve selected from a plurality of different torque curves is established at the internal combustion engine over its rotational speed.

A method for operating a motor vehicle. A user of the motor vehicle is authorized to trigger at least one function by a portable key device. For this purpose, the key device has an identification code that uniquely identifies the key device, and an authorization data set that describes the at least one function for which the user is authorized by the key device identified by the identification code. A control device of the motor vehicle carries out the receiving of the authorization data set and the identification code from the key device. In addition, based on an identification code stored in the control device and an authorization data set stored in the control device, it is determined whether the received authorization data set and the received identification code correspond to a predetermined combination. If they correspond to the predetermined combination, an enabling of the at least one function occurs.

A heat exchanger includes at least two manifolds which are fluidly connected to one another by multiple tubes, and a porous metal structure which at least partially surrounds the tubes. The heat exchanger has a plate-like form with a front side and a rear side. The metal structure is formed by a multiplicity of sheets which are held in each case between two adjacent tubes and, on at least one of the front and rear sides of the heat exchanger, extend across at least one adjacent tube.

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.

An occupant protection device for a vehicle includes an airbag module arranged in a hub region of a vehicle steering wheel used for steering vehicle wheels about a steering angle when the steering wheel is turned to a rotary position. The airbag module has an airbag configured for deployment between a driver and the steering wheel in the event of a crash. An adjustment unit is provided to turn the steering wheel from the rotary position to a crash position while the steering angle of the vehicle wheels remains unchanged so as to align the airbag with a posture of the driver in the event of a crash.

An operating system for driver assistance systems of a motor vehicle, has a plurality of operating elements which can be assigned to at least one operating group and which are disposed solely for operating driver assistance systems that can be assigned to at least one group. A corresponding function for operating the driver assistance systems can be assigned to each of the operating elements on the basis of adjustable combinations of operating modes of the driver assistance systems. The operating elements are disposed in order to operate an adaptive cruise control system, and in order to operate a lane departure warning system.
