Abstract: A method for a situation-controlled display of an actuation element for a function in a vehicle on a touch-sensitive display surface operable by a person using the vehicle involves the actuation element as a blocking element for a window lifter of the vehicle. The actuation element is always displayed if a child is detected on a seat in the vehicle, and a window lifter associated with the seat is actuated, if a contradicting actuation of window lifters for the same window is carried out, the window lifters being accessible to different people in the vehicle, and/or if the occurring actuation of the window lifters deviates from the conventional actuation type.

Abstract: A method for assisting a driver in activating an automatic driving mode of a vehicle involves determining the conditions required for an autonomous driving mode and determining a condition not fulfilled in the current driving state which blocks an activation of the autonomous driving mode. An object in the vehicle environment that is in context with an unfulfilled condition is also determined. The object in context with the unfulfilled condition is identified in a representation of the vehicle environment or by projection onto a windscreen, such that a driving maneuver required for enabling an autonomous driving operation is conveyed.
