Abstract

A method for operating a driver information system in an ego vehicle is provided, in which a current speed of the ego vehicle and a set parameter of an at least partially automated longitudinal guidance function of a driver assist system are acquired. A driver information display is generated and output, wherein the driver information display comprises a graphic lane object which represents a roadway in front of the ego vehicle. In doing so, a distance scale object and a distance indicator object are arranged in the lane object and are generated depending on the current speed of the ego vehicle. The distance scale object is generated so that positions of the lane object are assigned to distances from the ego vehicle, and the distance indicator object is arranged on the distance scale object such that the set parameter is output.
