Abstract: A method for operating at least one direction indicator of a motor vehicle, wherein, as of an actuation time, the direction indicator outputs a light signal comprising a periodic repetition of alternately successive on-phases and off-phases. A discrepancy of a starting phase angle of the light signal with respect to a predefined reference signal is determined at the actuation time and is compared with a predefined target phase angle assigned to the direction indicator. When there is a phase offset between the starting phase angle and the target phase angle—at least two of the on-phases and/or the off-phases of the light signal are extended or shortened by a different time difference value in each case after the actuation time such that the phase angle of the light signal with respect to the reference signal then corresponds to the predefined target phase angle, and/or—the light signal is started with a first off-phase (11) at the actuation time.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for operating an assistance system of a motor vehicle, wherein the assistance system has a projector. A message relating to a wrong-way driver is received, and a position of the wrong-way driver transmitted with the message is compared with a current position. Depending on the comparison, a recommendation for adapting a driving parameter is projected into an area in front of the motor vehicle for the driver by means of the projector. The present disclosure also relates to an assistance system of a motor vehicle and to a motor vehicle.

Abstract: Two headlights are spaced apart from each other in the transverse direction of a vehicle in which they are installed. When the headlights are in position to simultaneously provide light patterns, a first light pattern is located at least partially above a second light pattern in the vertical direction with respect to the installation position of the headlights.

Abstract: A method for operating a motor vehicle, wherein the motor vehicle has a lighting device comprising at least two headlight devices, wherein the headlight devices is arranged horizontally offset on a front side of the motor vehicle and each having one or more dimmable lamps, wherein a spatial region extending in front of the motor vehicle over a horizontal angular range can be illuminated by each headlight device according to a respective brightness generated by the lamp or lamps, wherein, before or during a reverse travel of the motor vehicle, as a function of a steering angle of the motor vehicle, the brightnesses of the lamp or lamps of at least one of the headlight devices are adjusted, wherein, when using headlight devices comprising multiple lamps, the lamps are adjusted such that at least one portion of the spatial region opposite the direction of the turning of the steering wheel is illuminated at an increased brightness, and/or-wherein, when using headlight devices comprising at least one lamp, the bri

Abstract: A method for operating an illuminating device of a motor vehicle, wherein light is radiated into a lighting volume by the illuminating device, wherein a control condition is evaluated, the fulfillment of which depends on whether the lighting volume comprises a partial lighting volume by which an area and/or an environment volume is illuminated that is illuminated or can be illuminated by an infrastructure luminaire, wherein when the control condition is fulfilled, the illuminating device is controlled in such a way that light is radiated into the partial lighting volume with a different light intensity than into a residual lighting volume of the lighting volume, which residual lighting volume lies outside the partial lighting volume.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for assisting a driver of a motor vehicle during an overtaking operation. The method includes determining vehicle data, which relate to a movement of the motor vehicle and determining an intention of the driver to overtake another vehicle using the vehicle data. The method further includes determining a position of the motor vehicle and providing environment data for the position of the motor vehicle. The environment data relate to stationary objects in an environment of the motor vehicle. The method further includes deriving a visual range from the environment data, and, only if the intention of the driver to overtake has been determined either projecting a warning onto a roadway region in the environment or illuminating an overtaking lane by a headlight of the motor vehicle, depending on the visual range.
