Abstract
A warning unit and a correspondingly configured method warns a driver in a vehicle where there is an imminent danger. The warning unit includes a control unit for bringing about a driver message when imminent danger is detected in the surroundings of the vehicle and an actuator system for outputting the driver message. When imminent danger is detected in the surroundings of the vehicle, the control unit outputs a signal for bringing about a flow of air in the direction of the driver.
