Abstract

A method and a device for detecting a living being, in particular a small child, in a vehicle. A transmitter provides a signal that is influenced by the living being. The influenced signal is provided to a receiver that provides the signal to a first decision module. The first decision module uses the signal to ascertain whether a vital state of a living being is present. The signal is provided to a second decision module if a living being is ascertained, wherein the second decision module ascertains whether the living being is an adult. If it is ascertained that the living being is not an adult, a warning signal is output using a signal generator. A vehicle having such a device is also provided.
