A headlight for a motor vehicle includes a light source, a projection lens, an optical element that corrects a chromatic aberration of the projection lens and a screen arranged between the light source and the projection lens, on which screen the corrective optical element is mounted at a distance from the projection lens.

Headlight for a motor vehicle

A motor vehicle headlight and method for operating the headlight is disclosed, wherein the headlight is operated in a main beam mode or in a partial main beam node. A light distribution of the main beam of the headlight is adapted as a function of a course of a road which is being traveled along by the motor vehicle. In addition, a motor vehicle headlight is described.

A method for assisting a driver of a motor vehicle combination with a towing vehicle and a trailer is described. A width of the motor vehicle combination is determined and a traffic lane is detected. A space required by the motor vehicle combination when travelling is predicted. A nominal track for the towing vehicle is calculated such that the motor vehicle combination remains inside the traffic lane. A computer software product, a lane departure warning system and a towing vehicle are also described.

A headlamp device for a motor vehicle includes a segmented light source, which has individually deactivatable light source segments for generating a glare-free main beam with the aid of an automatic dimming system. The headlamp device is configured such that one or more regions in the main beam distribution of the headlamp device can be suppressed selectively by deactivating individual light source segments. Each light source segment in the activated state lights up a main beam segment region with a respectively preset width in the main beam distribution of the headlamp. The width of the main beam segment region is preset in the main beam segment region depending on an expected average dynamic of objects to avoid dazzling under normal traffic conditions.

A method and apparatus for controlling a headlight system of a motor vehicle is disclosed. The headlight system can be actuated in at least two control modes, each having an associated, predetermined maximum main beam width. First, a current driving situation of the motor vehicle is captured on the basis of at least one operating, parameter of the motor vehicle. A current control mode is ascertained based on which control mode from at least two control modes matches a control mode assigned to the captured driving situation on the basis of the captured current driving situation and at least one-time or temporal parameter. The controller is shifted into the assigned control mode when the current control mode does not match the assigned control mode, wherein a maximum main beam width is set for the current driving situation.

An adaptive audio system for a motor vehicle is disclosed. The audio system is operable to retrieve a music item from a storage device, classify the music item in a predefined music category the basis of a determined audio profile, select a category from a plurality of predefined music categories on the basis of a current driving behavior of the driver, and output a music item included in the selected category via an output device. The driving behavior of the driver is understood to mean the mode or style in which the driver drives.

Audio system for a motor vehicle

A headlight system is provided for a motor vehicle and includes, but is not limited to at least one light source and beam-forming apparatus for generating the main light beam with an essentially horizontal cut-off line and a marker light beam within a limited azimuth angle range above the cut-off line of the main light beam. The beam-forming apparatus are switchable between at least two stationary states that differ from each other in the progression of an upper cut-off line of the marker light beam.

A headlamp in an automobile, which is rotatable about a yaw axis when negotiating a bend, has a controller for controlling the rotary movement. In order to improve the illumination of a roadway lying in front of an automobile, the controller may take into account a driving profile.

Headlamp in an automobile

A motor vehicle is provided that has a passenger compartment, a hatchback, which is mounted so it is pivotable on the passenger compartment, external lighting having taillights, which are fastened on the hatchback, and additional taillights, which are concealed when the hatchback is closed and are visible from outside the motor vehicle when the hatchback is open.
