  • Publication number: 20230134925
    Abstract: A method for operating a motor vehicle. A map of corresponding event locations for one or more high load events is provided, wherein the one or more high load events have historically led to an above-average load on a vehicle component. A current position and/or route of the motor vehicle is determined. A high load event is identified from among the one or more high load events as likely to be relevant to the motor vehicle during the current operation. The identification of the high load event is based on the current position and/or route of the motor vehicle. The vehicle component is thermally preconditioned, via a corresponding automatic control of at least one device of the motor vehicle, before the motor vehicle has reached the corresponding event location of the identified high load event.
