Abstract
The invention relates to a method for adapting the signal processing of at least one sensor device arranged behind a window in a motor vehicle, wherein the adaptation of the signal processing comprises changing at least one detection threshold value if a probability of ice being on the window is detected on the basis of a determined temperature, wherein a temperature signal of at least one temperature sensor integrated in the sensor device is used to detect the probability of ice on the window.
