Abstract
Described are a method and a device for signaling information relevant for the operation of a motor vehicle which make it possible for the vehicle's driver to receive information about the vehicle's optimum engine efficiency. The specified information is thus formed by an operating point of a drive unit of the vehicle. A haptic signal is formed at a control element of the vehicle, an accelerator pedal in particular, as a function of the operating point.
