Method and device for implementing measures for averting danger for living beings in motor vehicles

摘要

A method for implementing measures to avert danger for living beings in a compartment in a motor vehicle, in which a carbon dioxide variable describing the carbon dioxide content or the rate of increase of the carbon dioxide content of the air in this space is detected; and in which a temperature variable representing the room temperature in this space is determined. The temperature variable is compared to a temperature-threshold value, and in the event that the temperature variable exceeds a temperature threshold value, the danger-averting measures in response to the temperature threshold value being exceeded are implemented only if the carbon dioxide variable has exceeded a carbon dioxide threshold value.
