The invention relates to a method (100) for seat occupancy-dependent control of an infotainment system of a motor vehicle (50), wherein the infotainment system comprises a user interface module (61) with a display device, and wherein the motor vehicle (50) has a passenger compartment (51) with several seats (52, 53, 54), wherein at least two of the seats (52, 53, 54) are each assigned at least one display area (70a, 70b, 71, 72) of the display device. The method (100) comprises the following steps: detecting (110) which of the seats (52, 53, 54) is occupied by a vehicle occupant; and setting (120) the display areas (70a, 70b, 71, 72) to an interactive state or to a deactivated state depending on the detected occupancy of the seats (52, 53, 54).
