Original Abstract Submitted
A device for operating a set of safety functions of a vehicle is described. The device is configured to determine a user profile during a journey of the vehicle, wherein the user profile specifies a user status for each of the one or more safety functions of the set of safety functions. The device is furthermore configured to activate the set of safety functions according to a starting profile when the vehicle is started, wherein the starting profile specifies a starting status for each of the one or more safety functions of the set of safety functions. Furthermore, the device is configured to determine that for at least one safety function of the set of safety functions, the starting status deviates from the user status, and in reaction thereto to cause a message to be output to the user of the vehicle to the effect that the at least one safety function was started, deviating from the user profile, according to the starting profile.
