Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for controlling the illumination of an occupant compartment of a motor vehicle with multiple illumination devices, wherein a region of the occupant compartment assigned to the respective illumination device can in each case be illuminated by means of the illumination devices, wherein at least one light-specific parameter assigned to at least one of the regions or at least one item of illumination information from which the light-specific parameter is derived is specified by the user, wherein a variable characteristic of the light generated by the illumination device in the region depends on the respectively assigned light-specific parameter. The fulfillment of a change condition is checked by means of a comparison of at least one light-specific parameter assigned to one of the regions with at least one light-specific parameter assigned to another of the regions, wherein at least one of the light-specific parameters and/or at least one illumination device-specific parameter on which an emission characteristic of the light generated by means of an illumination device assigned to this illumination device-specific parameter depends is changed if the change condition is fulfilled.
