Abstract

A method for operating a driver assistance system, performing a driver assistance function of a motor vehicle. The driver assistance function is activable by the driver only if at least one activation criterion is satisfied and is automatically deactivated if at least one deactivation criterion is satisfied. If the driver assistance system is activable, then a piece of activability information indicating the activability is output to the driver and a projected activity time before the onset of a deactivation criterion is ascertained and is output together with the activability information. A reliability value for the activity time is determined at the projected activity time and the output of the activability information and/or of the activity time is adjusted on the basis of the reliability value.
