Abstract
A system and method are provided to document the condition of a motor vehicle with an image generation device coupled to a control device of the motor vehicle via a data link. An image generation signal is initiated, which is present both at the control device of the motor vehicle and at the image generation device. The image generation signal triggers the generation of an image of the motor vehicle by the image generation device and triggers the generation of a data stamp at the control device. The data stamp is linked to the image.
