A system for waking up stations associated for implementing at least one distributed function and interconnected by an information transmission network (37) in particular for a motor vehicle, in which the stations (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36) need to pass from a standby state or an OFF state to an awake state in order to exchange information relating to the distributed function, the system being characterized in that all of the stations are connected to a single line (38) for transmitting a station wakeup signal, in that at least some of the stations include means (39) for generating a wakeup signal on said line (38) in order to cause the other stations to take up their awake state, and means (40) for sending information relating to the distributed function over the information transmission network (37), and in that at least some of the stations include means (40) for analyzing the information on the information transmission network in order to determine whether they are concerned by the information and thus by the corresponding distributed function, so as to remain in the awake state or else return to the standby state or the OFF state.
