Abstract

A method for displaying at least one parameter concerning the operation of a vehicle in the vehicle by a display device with a display surface wherein, in a first display mode of the display device, the display surface generates a display element with a first boundary and an area lying within the first boundary. The area is divided into at least a first sub-area and a second sub-area and the first sub-area includes a scale by which a state variable of the vehicle is displayed. The current value of the state variable is displayed in the first display mode by a graphical element which extends from the second sub-area in the first sub-area to the scale. Also disclosed is a device for displaying at least one parameter concerning the operation of a vehicle in the vehicle.
