A motor vehicle has a surroundings lighting device, where the surroundings lighting device includes a first projection module arranged adjacent to a pivotable vehicle door of the motor vehicle in an immobile vehicle bodywork component, where when the first projection module is switched on, the first projection module projects a light distribution onto the ground adjacent to the immobile vehicle bodywork component. A second projection module is arranged on the outside of the vehicle door, where when the second projection module is switched on, the second projection module projects a pictogram onto the ground. The surroundings lighting device is configured to, when an event which is triggered by a user in the surroundings of the motor vehicle is detected, switch on the first projection module and at the same time, or after a delay, switch on the second projection module such that the pictogram is projected onto the light distribution.

Motor vehicle having a surroundings lighting device

The invention relates to a device for automatically adjusting the headlight range of a motor vehicle, comprising at least vertically adjustment headlights comprising a control unit provided with a sensor device which is used to detect vehicle and/or ambient data and an evaluation and control device which is used to determine control data for controlling the at least vertically adjustable headlights. The sensor device is embodied as a non-predictable working sensor which is used to detect the vertical roadway curving.

Device and method for adjusting the headlight range of a motor vehicle

A motor vehicle headlight is provided having a basic light source, a swiveling device which is equipped for swiveling the basic light source about a basic swiveling angle, and an infrared radiation source which is coupled with the swiveling device such that, when the basic light source is swiveled by the swiveling device about a basic swiveling angle, the infrared radiation source is swiveled by the swiveling device about an infrared swiveling angle deviating from the basic swiveling angle.
