Abstract
In a method for detecting whether a motor vehicle in a parked state, in particular in the switched-off state, has been hit or moved, at least one sensor signal is transmitted as a function of a position of the motor vehicle relative to at least one vehicle-external reference object from a sensor device to a control device. The control device compares the at least one sensor signal with at least one predetermined signal pattern or with at least one predetermined value interval or with at least one predetermined signal template, and transmits at least one control command for initiating a safety measure to at least one unit of the motor vehicle, when the comparison reveals a difference.

13. A method for detecting whether a motor vehicle in a parked state, in particular in the switched-off state, has been hit or moved, said method comprising the steps of:
-
transmitting at least one sensor signal as a function of a position of the motor vehicle relative to at least one vehicle-external reference object from a sensor device to a control device; comparing the at least one sensor signal with at least one predetermined signal pattern or with at least one predetermined value interval or with at least one predetermined signal template; and transmitting at least one control command for initiating a safety measure to at least one unit of the motor vehicle, when the comparing step reveals a difference. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A motor vehicle, comprising:
-
a sensor device configured to generate at a standstill of the motor vehicle a sensor signal which is dependent on a relative position of the motor vehicle with respect to at least one vehicle-external reference object; and a control device configured to receive the sensor signal and to compare the at least one sensor signal with at least one predetermined signal pattern or with at least one predetermined value interval or with at least one predetermined signal template, said control device transmitting at least one control command for initiating a safety measure to at least one unit of the motor vehicle, when the comparison reveals a difference. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
