Method for actuating at least two devices of a motor vehicle (K), comprising a display device and a lighting device , in which the at least two devices are actuated at least on the basis of acquired global position data (GP, GP21) in relation to at least one pedestrian (F, F1, F2, F3, Fx) and/or at least one cyclist (R1, R2, Rx), wherein the position data (GP, GP21) in relation to the at least one pedestrian (F, F1, F2, F3, Fx) and/or the at least one cyclist (R1, R2, Rx) are acquired, transmitted to a remote computer unit and made available to a computer unit of the motor vehicle (K), wherein position data (GP) from a multiplicity of pedestrians (Fx) and/or cyclists (Rx) are collected in the remote computer unit , and a location-dependent and time-dependent history of presence (AH) of pedestrians (Fx) and/or cyclists (Rx) is formed from these data, characterized in that a navigation map (KAH) is displayed by the display device of the motor vehicle (K), said navigation map displaying a history of presence (AH) of pedestrians and/or cyclists for the area currently being driven through, and wherein the way in which the lighting device of the motor vehicle (K) is actuated changes automatically depending on the navigation map selected by the vehicle driver in such a way that, when the navigation map (KAH) displaying the history of presence (AH) of pedestrians (Fx) and/or cyclists (Rx) is displayed, the lighting device is actuated on the basis of the empirical values formed by the transmitted history of presence (AH), and, when an up-to-date navigation map (Kakt) in which currently detected cyclists and/or pedestrians are visible is selected, the lighting device is actuated on the basis of promptly received position data from moving objects that are actually present in the region of the motor vehicle (K). wherein the position data (GP, GP21) in relation to the at least one pedestrian (F, F1, F2, F3, Fx) and/or the at least one cyclist (R1, R2, Rx) are acquired, transmitted to a remote computer unit and made available to a computer unit of the motor vehicle (K), wherein position data (GP) from a multiplicity of pedestrians (Fx) and/or cyclists (Rx) are collected in the remote computer unit , and a location-dependent and time-dependent history of presence (AH) of pedestrians (Fx) and/or cyclists (Rx) is formed from these data, characterized in that a navigation map (KAH) is displayed by the display device of the motor vehicle (K), said navigation map displaying a history of presence (AH) of pedestrians and/or cyclists for the area currently being driven through, and wherein the way in which the lighting device of the motor vehicle (K) is actuated changes automatically depending on the navigation map selected by the vehicle driver in such a way that, when the navigation map (KAH) displaying the history of presence (AH) of pedestrians (Fx) and/or cyclists (Rx) is displayed, the lighting device is actuated on the basis of the empirical values formed by the transmitted history of presence (AH), and, when an up-to-date navigation map (Kakt) in which currently detected cyclists and/or pedestrians are visible is selected, the lighting device is actuated on the basis of promptly received position data from moving objects that are actually present in the region of the motor vehicle (K). <EOS>
