Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for controlling a headlight of a motor vehicle when a full beam function is activated, in which method an object is sensed by means of an object sensor, an evaluation unit determines whether the object is a road user, a light output in an object region of the object is reduced only if the object is a road user, a width of the object region is determined, two parallel side lines are determined centrally with respect to the width, the sidelines are moved outwards up to a predefinable maximum distance of the sidelines from one another, in opposite directions to one another and transversely with respect to their extent, wherein the maximum spacing is greater than the width of the object region, the sidelines are moved back as far as the transverse extent, and the headlight reduces the light output in a region which is bounded laterally by the sidelines.
