Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a motor vehicle comprising at least one illumination device, by means of which at least one light signal can be generated which is visible from outside the motor vehicle, and comprising at least one acoustic device, by means of which at least one acoustic signal can be generated which is audible from outside the motor vehicle. The at least one control device of the motor vehicle is configured to check whether at least one output condition is satisfied and, if the at least one output condition is satisfied, to control the at least one illumination device and the at least one acoustic device in such a way that the light signal and the acoustic signal are generated simultaneously. The at least one output condition is at least one get-in or get-out condition relating to a current start-up and/or turn-off situation of the motor vehicle, the satisfaction of which condition depends on at least one control and/or sensor signal which can be generated by means of a system and/or sensor of the motor vehicle relating to the start-up and/or turn-off process of the motor vehicle, and/or at least one maneuver condition relating to a current or imminent reversing or acceleration maneuver of the motor vehicle, the satisfaction of which condition depends on at least one control signal which can be generated by means of a driver assistance system of the motor vehicle and/or on at least one operating signal which can be generated by a user by means of at least one operating device of the motor vehicle, and/or at least one driving state condition relating to a current operating situation of the motor vehicle, the satisfaction of which condition depends on at least one control signal which can be generated by means of the or a driver assistance system of the motor vehicle.
