A motor vehicle has a plurality of control devices which are designed to provide a particular vehicle function in the motor vehicle. The vehicle functions of the control devices differ. The control devices are connected by a common bus line which is led successively through a respective communications circuit of the control devices, wiring the control devices successively into a daisy-chain circuit. Each of the vehicle functions is implemented in each of the control devices. A processor circuit is designed to determine a position specification which specifies a position of the particular control device within the daisy-chain circuit and, according to the determined position specification, to select a vehicle function allocated to the position from the implemented vehicle functions and to provide the selected vehicle function in the motor vehicle for activation.
