METHOD FOR OPERATING A TRIP RECORDER OF A MOTOR VEHICLE AND TRIP RECORDER FOR PERFORMING THE METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to a trip recorder (1), a memory card or a cleaning card (3) being passed by a reading device (6) by an electric motor drive (8). The trip recorder (1) attempts to establish communication with the inserted card. If no communication can be established, the reader device (6) or the memory card is dirty, or the cleaning card (3) is inserted in the trip recorder (1). In case of a failed attempt at communication, the electric motor drive (8) moves the inserted card past the reader device (6) repeatedly in any case, removing potential contamination.
