Abstract:
1. A method of operating a motor vehicle with at least one electric drive component, which is cooled via at least one coolant circuit that is thermally coupled to a refrigerant circuit, the method comprising: allowing a driver of the motor vehicle to select via a control element between a first operating mode designed as a normal operating mode and a second operating mode designed as a sports operating mode, in the first operating mode of the motor vehicle, setting a flow temperature of a coolant of the at least one coolant circuit to a first value through active cooling with the refrigerant circuit, and in the second operation mode of the motor vehicle, setting the flow temperature of the coolant of the at least one coolant circuit to a second, smaller value through active cooling with the refrigerant circuit.
