A vehicle lighting device includes at least one headlight, a position and/or acceleration sensor, and a control unit for adjusting a light/dark boundary of the headlight. Pitch movements of the vehicle can be detected by the position and/or acceleration sensor, and a change in the light/dark boundary due to the respective pitch movement can be compensated for by the control unit. The position and/or acceleration sensor and the control unit are arranged in the headlight or directly on the headlight.

An identification device for retrofitting a child seat is provided for detecting the child seat on a vehicle seat in a motor vehicle by means of a child seat detection device. A transceiver component, connected to a control and evaluation device, for transmitting an electromagnetic transmission signal and for receiving an electromagnetic reception signal, is arranged as part the child seat detection device in the vehicle seat or in the direct vicinity of the vehicle seat. The reception of the transmission signal in the identification device causes transmission of the reception signal. The identification device has external wiring. By means of a defined mechanical manipulation which brings about a defined change in the external wiring, the identification device can be changed from an inactive initial state to an active state.

Identification device for a child seat

A sensor device ( ) which can be attached at at least two different installation locations in a motor vehicle ( ) by at least one attachment device and which has a data output. The sensor device ( ) is installed at a predefined installation location in the motor vehicle ( ) by attachment to at least one predefined attachment point ( ), the attachment point ( ) being characteristic of the installation location in such a way that the attachment to the one predefined attachment point ( ) generates a predefined electrical effect, and the sensor device ( ) is installed at another predefined installation location in the motor vehicle ( ) by attachment to at least one other predefined attachment point ( ), the attachment to the other predefined attachment point ( ) generates a different predefined electrical effect. It is possible to determine the actual installation location of the sensor device ( ) by sensing the generated electrical effect.
