Claims

1-8. -8. (canceled)

9. A device for an expanded display of a surrounding region of a vehicle, comprising:

an imaging component for a visual representation of the surrounding region, wherein information from a road model is superimposable on the visual representation of the surrounding region.

10. The device as recited in claim 9, wherein the information from the road model includes positions of road markings.

11. The device as recited in claim 10, further comprising:

a sensor for detecting a first position of the road markings, wherein a second position of the road markings in the surrounding region of the vehicle is ascertainable from the first position of the road markings, and wherein the second position of the road markings is superimposable on the visual representation of the surrounding region.

12. The device as recited in claim 9, wherein the information from the road model includes positions of road markings of a multi-lane road.

13. The device as recited in claim 9, wherein the device is developed for an expanded representation of a rear surrounding region of the vehicle.

14. The device as recited in claim 9, wherein the imaging component is a mirror.

15. The device as recited in claim 9, wherein the imaging component is a rear-view mirror.

16. The device as recited in claim 14, wherein the mirror is a partially transmitting mirror and provided with a rear-side display for the expanded representation.

17. The device as recited in claim 9, wherein the imaging component is a camera having a display.
