Operation of a motor vehicle as a function of exhaust emissions

Abstract

A method for operating a motor vehicle with an internal combustion engine, comprising a combustion engine and an exhaust line with an exhaust aftertreatment system. At least one environmental emission of an exhaust component or multiple exhaust components, contained in the exhaust gas generated by the combustion engine, is determined. If a limitation threshold value for the environmental emission of the exhaust component or at least one of the exhaust components is exceeded, the operation of the combustion engine is limited with respect to the deliverable power. If a warning threshold value for the environmental emission of the exhaust component or at least one of the exhaust components, which is lower than the limitation threshold value, is exceeded, a warning message is triggered and/or the operation of the internal combustion engine is adapted in a power-neutral manner such that the environmental emission of the exhaust component is reduced.
