Abstract
A resetting device for at least one controller in a motor vehicle includes a receiving unit for receiving a reset signal, and a resetting unit for resetting at least one setting of the controller to a predefined reset setting following the receipt of the reset signal by the receiving unit. The setting of the controller can be modified by the user of the motor vehicle during proper use of the motor vehicle, and the receiving unit is designed for the wire-free reception of the predefined reset setting from a computing unit that is external to the vehicle, in order to increase the quality of service in a motor vehicle.

A resetting device for at least one controller in a motor vehicle, the resetting device comprising:
- a reception unit to wirelessly receive a reset signal and to wirelessly receive a prescribed reset setting from a vehicle-external computation unit, the prescribed reset setting being prescribable on the vehicle-external computation unit;
- and
- a resetting unit to reset at least one setting of the at least one controller to the prescribed reset setting after reception of the reset signal by the reception unit, the setting of the at least one controller being modifiable by a user of the motor vehicle when the motor vehicle is used as intended.
A resetting system, comprising:
- a vehicle-external computation unit to store a prescribed reset setting which is prescribable on the vehicle-external computation unit;
- and
- a motor vehicle including:
- a chassis,
- a controller having a setting modifiable by a user of the motor vehicle when the motor vehicle is used as intended, and
- a resetting device, including:
- a reception unit to wirelessly receive a reset signal and to wirelessly receive the prescribed reset setting from the vehicle-external computation unit, and
- a resetting unit to reset the setting of the controller to the prescribed reset setting after reception of the reset signal by the reception unit.
A method for resetting a setting of at least one controller of at least one motor vehicle, comprising:
- wirelessly receiving a prescribed reset setting, prescribable on a vehicle-external computation unit, from the vehicle-external computation unit via a reception unit;
- receiving a reset signal via the reception unit;
- and
- resetting at least one setting of the at least one controller to the received prescribed reset setting, the at least one setting of the controller being adjustable by a user of the motor vehicle when the motor vehicle is used as intended.
