Abstract

A method for enabling a driving assistance function after an accident of a vehicle. The method initially including a reading-in step, in which at least one crash signal, as well as sensor data of at least one vehicle sensor and/or actuator data of at least one vehicle actuator, are read in. The reading-in step is executed while the vehicle is driven with the driving assistance function switched off. The method further includes processing the read-in sensor data and/or actuator data to determine a deviation from expected sensor data and/or expected actuator data; the processing then being carried out, if the crash signal signals an accident that has occurred. The method includes enabling the driving assistance function and/or the vehicle actuator, if the sensor data and/or the actuator data fulfill an enabling criterion within a predetermined time window and/or within a predetermined travel route of the vehicle.
