Abstract

In a method for operating a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine, pre-heating measures (7) for reaching operating temperatures for components of the exhaust-gas post-treatment system and/or for a lambda probe of the motor vehicle are provided prior to the departure (10) of the motor vehicle. The activation of a transducer (1) by a driver of the motor vehicle for explicitly announcing an impending departure of the motor vehicle is provided as the trigger for the pre-heating measures (7), in particular for avoiding an unnecessary initiation of pre-heating measures.
