Abstract: A method for operating a motor vehicle involves displaying a first assistance graphic of a first active driver assistance system in a first display mode on at least one display device of the motor vehicle when the motor vehicle is operated in a first driving mode, and displaying the first assistance graphic of the first active driver assistance system in a second display mode on the at least one display device when the motor vehicle is operated in a second driving mode that is different from the first driving mode. The first assistance graphic is displayed in a first perspective in the first display mode and is displayed in a second perspective, which is different from the first perspective, in the second display mode.

Abstract: An operator control system for a vehicle includes a visual display unit for displaying at least one operator control function; and at least one central manual operating device is associated with the visual display unit, for operator control of the at least one displayed operator control function. In addition, at least one further manual operating means, as well as at least one sensor which detects when an object approaches the at least one further operating means. The visual display unit displays an operator control function associated with the further manual operating means when such an approach is sensed.

Abstract: A method and arrangement for controlling the longitudinal velocity of a motor vehicle is provided with a continuous determination of the vehicle position and controlling of the longitudinal velocity while defining a desired velocity defining value and/or velocity defining limit value as a function of the determined vehicle position. By using corresponding velocity defining devices, velocity data are detected by way of the actual value and/or a set desired value and/or a set limit value of the longitudinal vehicle velocity as a function of the vehicle position. The desired velocity defining value and/or velocity defining limit value is determined from the velocity data detected for the respective vehicle position during one or several preceding drives. The detected velocity data themselves and/or the desired defining value data or defining limit value data are stored in a retrievable manner.

Abstract: A display arrangement for depicting the level of danger associated with current driving conditions of a motor vehicle. A control unit processes the vehicle's speed and its distance from the vehicle in front and presents a green circular area if the speed and the distance from the vehicle in front are in the permitted, instantaneously safe range. If the vehicle speed exceeds the permitted speed by a first limit amount, or if the distance from the vehicle in front becomes smaller than the distance which the vehicle covers within a first prescribed time period, the display changes gradually from the circular shape, to an elongated area with a shape which extends more horizontally than vertically, and the color of the area shown changes from green to yellow.
