A motor vehicle includes an environment illuminating device for emitting light toward the ground in the environment of the motor vehicle. The environment illuminating device includes one or more luminous modules, each of which is configured to generate a light distribution on the ground. A respective luminous module includes an image generator configured to generate light radiation from light from an illuminant, the light radiation containing two-dimensional image information concerning, firstly, a symbol representation and, secondly, a light pattern and/or a homogeneous area with a substantially constant luminance. Furthermore, the respective luminous module includes an optical device, on which the light radiation from the image generator is incident.

Environment illuminating device for a motor vehicle

An adjustment system for a seat has a first bearing shell for receiving a seat surface and/or a seat backrest, a second bearing shell for connecting to a substructure, a first wedge-shaped adjustment ring, which is rotatably mounted on the first bearing shell, a second wedge-shaped adjustment ring, which is rotatably mounted on the second bearing shell and rotatably mounted on the first adjustment ring, a first drive for rotating the first adjustment ring relative to the second adjustment ring, a second drive for rotating the second adjustment ring relative to the second bearing shell, and a blockade mechanism for electively connecting the first bearing shell and the second bearing shell for conjoint rotation.

An illumination device for a motor vehicle includes a first light source and a scanner, wherein, in the switched-on state of the first light source, light coming from same is incident upon the scanner and the scanner performs a scanning movement, by which the beam path of the light from the first light source is modified after passing via the scanner and a moving first light spot is thereby generated, with which a first lighting function is provided, which represents an illumination of a surrounding area of the motor vehicle with visible light. A conversion element is arranged in the beam path of the light from the first light source after passing via the scanner, which converts the light that is incident upon the element into white light. One or more second light sources are provided, wherein, in the switched-on state of a respective second light source, light coming from same is incident upon the scanner and the scanner performs a scanning movement, by which the beam path of the light from the respective second light source is modified after passing via the scanner, without encountering a conversion element provided in the illumination device, and a moving second light spot is thereby generated, with which a respective second lighting function is provided.
