Abstract
A method and a device for event interpretation and output of operating instructions in motor vehicles are described. The inventive idea is to bundle the wealth of information regarding errors and/or defects resulting from the multitude of sensors and the complexity of modern vehicles, optionally linking it with empirical findings and outputting operating instructions to the driver, so that the instructions do not make excessive technical demands of the driver but instead are adapted to his/her instantaneous situation. The core of the inventive concept is to use an electronic database which contains the technical information including the error codes of devices of the automotive sensor and electronic systems for analysis of event information which informs the driver comprehensively and yet comprehensibly regarding the problems that have occurred. Likewise the database may be the target of an inquiry initiated by the driver.
