Abstract
A method for operating a vehicle includes continuously checking during a driving operation whether an emergency situation is present in the vehicle and, when an emergency situation is detected, initiating an emergency stopping maneuver for safely parking the vehicle, signalling the emergency situation to a road user in a surroundings of the vehicle, and aborting the emergency stopping maneuver when a vehicle user takes over a task of driving the vehicle. The method further includes automatically deactivating the signalling of the emergency situation when an ascertained duration of time between the initiating and the aborting of the emergency stopping maneuver is smaller than a predeterminable time value and/or when an ascertained reduction of a driving speed of the vehicle between the initiating and the aborting of the emergency stopping maneuver is smaller than a predeterminable speed reduction value.
