• Some functions of a vehicle can not be used while driving so as not to distract the driver too much. Even retrieving online services in a web-enabled vehicle can significantly distract the driver while driving. However, some on-line services can also provide important information to the driver while driving, such as traffic jams, black ice warnings, or severe weather forecasts.

If the driving condition is changed, the runtime environment may also cause a web page to be reloaded or a program to be restarted, so that the presentation is immediately adapted to the changed conditions.

• While driving only online services stored in the control unit can be selected. To avoid distracting the driver's attention while driving by manually typing an unsaved web page, only previously stored online services can be accessed while driving.
• Polling on-line services allowed while driving may be via a menu or softkey - a button that performs different functions depending on a screen display - or voice recognition to further minimize the driver's attention while driving ,
• Online services that are not allowed while driving can be displayed as deactivated, for example with a gray background. As a result, the driver immediately recognizes which of the visited online services can not be displayed while driving.
