Abstract

In an information system for a vehicle having a plurality of information sources for outputting a respective associated information signals when an associated information-generation condition is met, two or more vehicle-control information sources of different types are coordinate with one another, without conflict, in terms of their information output in such a way that at any time at most one of these vehicle-control information items is output. As an alternative, or in addition vehicle-control information signals and non-vehicle control information signals can be prioritized according to a plurality of sequentially processed urgency levels. The vehicle-control information signals are assigned higher urgency and the non-vehicle-control information signals are assigned lower urgency.
