How to control at least one cleaning device for at least one sensor located on the outer contour of the vehicle

摘要

In the method of controlling at least one cleaning device of at least one sensor arranged on the outer contour of the vehicle, it is first determined that the vehicle cleaning of the outer contour of the vehicle has been performed (140). The sensor in this case is, for example, a distance sensor that detects the periphery of the vehicle and is therefore placed on the outer body of the vehicle. It can be assumed that by cleaning the vehicle, the sensors mounted on the outside are also cleaned, and after cleaning the vehicle, the dirt on these sensors is also removed. According to the present invention, a first control signal for controlling at least one cleaning device of at least one sensor is generated, for example, in response to a determination that the vehicle has been washed by a car wash machine.
