Abstract: A method and a device for supporting a driver of a motor vehicle in utilizing an automatic engine start-stop system of the motor vehicle is provided. The method includes registering and storing, for at least one operating time of the motor vehicle and for each engine stop of a total number initiated by the automatic engine start-stop system in the operating time, at least the respective time durations where k=0, 1, 2, . . . P, where P?[0, 1, 2, . . . ]. A first ratio value that is dependent on the operating time and the added time durations determined: W 1 = ? k = 0 P B ? ? t MS , k t B . ( 1 ) The first ratio value is output and/or an output which is dependent on the first ratio value is generated and output.

Abstract: A method and a device for supporting a driver of a motor vehicle in utilizing an automatic engine start-stop system of the vehicle is provided. A method includes predetermining or determining a first limit value tG1 that indicates a time, which, after an engine has been stopped through the start-stop system, has to elapse until an energy saving through the stopping of the engine compared with a continued operation of the engine is obtained. A time currently carried out through the start-stop system is registered, where t0 is a point of time at which the engine is stopped through the start-stop system and t is a time. A visually, haptically, and/or acoustically perceptible information dependent on the tG1 and ?t(t) from which the driver can gather the time with effect from which the engine stop leads to the energy saving is generated and output.

Abstract: A device is provided for controlling a light function of a headlight of a vehicle and a method is provided for controlling the light functions of headlights of a vehicle that includes, but is not limited to at least two different light functions are set by at least one drive device and the drive device is activated via a light control unit. The light control unit communicates with a supervision authority, parameters stored in the supervision authority predefining the dynamic behavior of the light functions.

Abstract: A device and method are provided for automatically monitoring tire pressure in a vehicle, as well as a method for displaying information about vehicle tire inflation. The method for automatically monitoring tire pressure in a vehicle encompasses indirectly determining the actual temperature in a vehicle tire. The actual temperature is ascertained based on empirically determined families of characteristics as a function of parameters that describe environmental conditions, driving conditions and/or material properties of the vehicle tires.

Abstract: An apparatus in a motor vehicle for spatial detection of a scene inside and/or outside the motor vehicle has a LIDAR sensor, which is coupled to an electronic detection device, and an image sensor, which is connected to an image processing device for recording and evaluation of images of the scene. The detection device and the image processing device are coupled to a computer in order to determine spatial data of the scene.

Abstract: An apparatus for adjusting the pressure in a tire of a vehicle comprises a compressed gas source, a coupling which can be fastened on a valve of the tire, and control means for selective action upon the coupling with compressed gas from the compressed gas source, said control means comprising an interface for communication with a TPM system.

Abstract: A motor vehicle is provided that has a navigation system and an AFL-headlight system. The alignment of at least one headlight of the motor vehicle can be influenced with the information of the navigation system. In order to improve the illumination of road sections lying ahead, a number of traffic lanes are taken into consideration in the alignment of the headlight.
