1. A method for outputting an information message in a vehicle, the method comprising the acts of:
- storing the information message for subsequent output;
determining a current location of the vehicle;
triggering, by a driver of the vehicle during a drive of the vehicle;
determining a location for the vehicle of the vehicle;
selecting a vehicle related criterion for the vehicle for automatically emitting the stored message, wherein the vehicle related criterion for the vehicle is one of a specified seat occupation of the vehicle and a fuel tank level of the vehicle being below a predefined level;
an assignment of the stored information message to the location and an assignment of the selected vehicle related criterion to the stored information message; and
automatically emitting the stored information message assigned to the location when the vehicle is situated at the location during a subsequent drive of the vehicle only when the selected vehicle related criterion is met.

8. A vehicle system, comprising:
-
a location determination device for determining a current location of a vehicle; a storage device for storing an information message; an input device for triggering, during a first drive of the vehicle a determination of a location for the vehicle, a determination of the driving direction of the vehicle, and an assignment of a stored information message to the driving direction of the vehicle during the first drive and to the determined location; an output device for outputting an information message; and a control device operatively configured to automatically emit the stored information message assigned to the location when the vehicle is situated at the location during subsequent drive of the vehicle only when the vehicle is moving in the same direction as the driving direction to which the information message is assigned. - View Dependent Claims (9)
