Abstract

A detection device of a motor vehicle having a functional unit for transmitting and receiving signals. The functional unit has at least one first and one additional functional element, the signal inputs of which are subject to a comparison to determine an associative signal occurrence, and if the signals are absent in one of the functional elements, a configuration of its transmission/reception range to a road surface to be detected is performed in such a way that the corresponding functional element is forced to received signal reflections if it is functioning. A corresponding method is also provided.
