Abstract

A method for operating a fuel cell system of a motor vehicle includes the steps of: i) detecting whether a washing process of the motor vehicle in a wash facility for cleaning the exterior of the motor vehicle is taking place or is imminent and ii) reducing the supply of an oxidizing agent to a fuel cell stack of the fuel cell system when it has been detected that a washing process is taking place or is imminent.
