Vehicle Device and Method for Operating a Vehicle Device

A vehicle device includes at least one calculating logic, at least one electric and/or electronic functional unit, and at least one stored buffer energy source, which is operatively connected to the calculating logic and the functional unit and which is configured to at least partially buffer and/or stabilize a vehicle electrical system voltage of a vehicle electrical system in a normal operating state for supplying power to the functional unit. The vehicle device further includes at least one monitoring unit which is configured, in at least one malfunctioning state, in which the vehicle electrical system voltage drops below a voltage limit value and/or a gradient of the vehicle electrical system voltage exceeds a gradient limit value, to at least partially limit the energy intake of the functional unit and to enable an at least temporary power supply of the calculating logic by the stored buffer energy source.
