Abstract
After authenticating at least one functional component which is safety-relevant and/or emission-relevant to the driving mode of the motor vehicle with regard to whether the functional component is an original component of the motor vehicle or a functional component which has been replaced without authorization and/or has been manipulated without authorization, the operation of at least one other functional component of the motor vehicle is controlled in such a manner that the functionality or at least one functionality of the at least one other functional component is selectively restricted if the authentication which has been carried out reveals that the at least one functional component which is safety-relevant and/or emission-relevant to the driving mode of the motor vehicle has been replaced without authorization and/or has been manipulated without authorization.
