Abstract
A method for checking a total distance travelled by a motor vehicle and displaying the total distance in the motor vehicle includes: detecting a change in a component of a control device of the motor vehicle, change in the component being irreversible and taking place over a time period; assigning the magnitude and/or type of the change in the component to a comparison distance, related to the time period, travelled by the motor vehicle; comparing a distance detected by an odometer of the motor vehicle during the time period with the comparison distance; and an operator of the motor vehicle retrieving a result of the comparison or the operator receiving an automatic transmission of the result of the comparison.

15. A method for checking a total distance travelled by a motor vehicle and displaying the total distance in the motor vehicle, wherein a distance travelled by the motor vehicle during operation of the motor vehicle is detected and the detected distance is added, to distances which have been detected as distances previously travelled by the motor vehicle, to form the total distance travelled by the motor vehicle, the method comprising:
-
detecting a change in a component (12) of a control device (14) of the motor vehicle (1), change in the component (12) being irreversible and taking place over a time period; assigning the magnitude and/or type of the change in the component (12) to a comparison distance, related to the time period, travelled by the motor vehicle (1); comparing a distance detected by an odometer (2) of the motor vehicle (1) during the time period with the comparison distance; and an operator (6) of the motor vehicle (1) retrieving a result of the comparison or the operator receiving an automatic transmission of the result of the comparison. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
