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.
