Claim:
1. A method for operating a motor vehicle, comprising: sensing a spatial position with respect to the motor vehicle of at least one first body part of a vehicle occupant, including a first shoulder, arranged within a sensing range of a sensing device of the motor vehicle, by the sensing device; providing an anthropometric data model with data relating to dimensions of predetermined body parts of a human being and positioning of the body parts with respect to one another; determining a spatial position of at least one second body part, including at least one of a second shoulder and a head, of the vehicle occupant arranged outside the sensing range of the sensing device, taking into consideration the spatial position of the at least one first body part and the anthropometric data model; and actuating at least one functional unit of the motor vehicle, taking into consideration the spatial position of the at least one second body part, including at least one of a seat belt height adjustment device of the motor vehicle is actuated automatically, taking into consideration the spatial position of the second shoulder and, taking into consideration the spatial position of the head, an air conditioning system of the motor vehicle is automatically parameterized and/or a head support height adjustment device of the motor vehicle is automatically actuated.
