A method for warning a driver of a motor vehicle and to a control device for a motor vehicle are disclosed. The method comprises: steps: receiving, using the vehicle, position data of a first object from a communication device external to the vehicle; detecting a vehicle environment by a detection device of the motor vehicle and detecting an own position of the motor vehicle. In addition, determining if the detection device detects a second object hiding the first object in a field of view between the motor vehicle and the first object, and determining if in a potentially critical situation for the motor vehicle results from the first object. If it is recognized that the first object is hidden and that the potentially critical situation for the motor vehicle results from the first object, a specified warning cascade is initiated.
