Abstract
In a method for outputting data relating to user selectable information regarding a motor vehicle, a plurality of user selectable options relating to the information are represented, and data relating to the selected option is output. At least one context-dependent profile is defined, and a set of options determined by the profile is generated. Data are output as a function of the profiles and options.
