1. A method for conveying information to an occupant of a motor vehicle, comprisingobtaining driving-relevant information;
- determining an audio message depending on the obtained driving-relevant information;
determining a spatial characteristic for the audio message depending on either the obtained driving-relevant information or the determined audio message; and
outputting the audio message with the spatial characteristic in the motor vehicle.

Abstract
A system is provided for conveying information to an occupant of a motor vehicle. In one example of an implementation, driving-relevant information is obtained for example using sensors or a navigation system. An audio message is determined based on the obtained driving-relevant information. Spatial characteristics for the audio message are also determined. The audio message is output in the motor vehicle with the determined spatial characteristic via loudspeakers.
