Claim 10:
11. A method for limiting a load current in a supply line that supplies a first load with electrical current, the method comprising the following steps:
defining a first time interval and a second time interval, the first time interval beginning after a time of connection of the first load to the supply line, and the second time interval beginning later than the first time interval;
limiting the load current within the first time interval and second time interval to a first value; and
limiting the load current, at least at an end of the second time interval, to a second value, the second value being smaller than the first value, wherein a control signal for controlling an at least partly automated vehicle and/or a warning signal for warning a vehicle occupant is issued when a level of the load current reaches the first value and/or the second value of the load current.
