Method for selecting a driving profile to be used of a motor vehicle, in which method the driving profile currently to be used is selected automatically by means of a driver assistance system of the motor vehicle, depending on the situation, from a plurality of predetermined driving profiles, each of which determines at least one operating property of the motor vehicle, the driver assistance system being used to carry out the following automatically: - on the basis of at least one operating action of the motor vehicle carried out by a driver of the motor vehicle, a deviation between the driving profile currently desired by the driver and the driving profile used until then of the plurality of predetermined driving profiles (25, 26, 27) is detected, - after the detection of the deviation, a query is output to the driver as to whether the deviation for the current situation should be learned by the driver assistance system, and - after confirmation of the query, the driver assistance system is adapted for the current situation according to the driving profile currently desired by the driver in at least one parameter influencing the selection of the driving profile to be used in such a way that the deviation is taken into account when automatically selecting the driving profile to be used in future situations corresponding to the current situation characterized in that by evaluating situation data (12, 13) characterizing a current driving situation, a relevant current driving maneuver (28, 29, 30) is automatically detected and, in the case of several simultaneously detected driving maneuvers (28, 29, 30) to which one of the predetermined driving profiles (25, 26, 27) is assigned in each case, the driver assistance system selects the driving profile to be used of the predetermined driving profiles (25, 26, 27) depending on a predetermined prioritization of the driving maneuvers (28, 29, 30) and/or as part of the relevant current situation, an associated spatial position of the motor vehicle at which it came to the deviation is detected automatically and the driver assistance system is first adapted to the first confirmation only for the detected position and the driver assistance system is adapted in a position-independent manner for all future similar situations only when the deviation detects situations corresponding to this situation several times at different spatial positions and the corresponding queries have been confirmed. the driver assistance system being used to carry out the following automatically: -

on the basis of at least one operating action of the motor vehicle carried out by a driver of the motor vehicle, a deviation between the driving profile currently desired by the driver and the driving profile used until then of the plurality of predetermined driving profiles (25, 26, 27) is detected, -
