Abstract
A method for operating a motor vehicle with at least one exterior camera includes detecting whether the motor vehicle is put into operation before a driver gets into the motor vehicle, determining whether there is any contamination of the at least one exterior camera, in particular of a lens and/or a cover of the exterior camera, and outputting at least one signal in the event of certain contamination and detected start-up. A motor vehicle includes a control or regulating device designed to carry out the method.
