In order to ensure the proper execution of functions of a motor vehicle controlled by the control units with the least possible additional overhead, even with a faulty control unit, the backup control unit is configurable in response to the input of an error signal from the first or the second control unit such that the function of the motor vehicle corresponding to the faulty control unit is be controlled via the backup control unit.
