Abstract

An identification key associated with a motor vehicle is carried by a user as the user moves outside of the motor vehicle. When the identification key enters the reception range of short-range transceiver units, position data of the identification key are ascertained and transmitted via a far-field transceiver unit which is not included in the identification key. The receiver of the transmitted position data ascertains a movement vector for the identification key from the position data. If the movement vector meets at least one predefinable activation criterion, preconditioning of at least one component of the motor vehicle is activated.
