Abstract
A motor vehicle has a projection unit for projecting graphical or character-based information on a projection surface. The projection unit is connected to a monitoring circuit of the motor vehicle that is configured to project the graphical or character-based information. The monitoring circuit includes a brightness sensor for determining a value for the ambient brightness around the motor vehicle and a computer unit for controlling, on the basis of the value for the ambient brightness received from the brightness sensor, the size of the projection on the projection surface due to the projection unit.
