摘要

the interior lighting device has an illumination element (2,3,4,5) integrated in the interior trim to emit light in at least two different colours and/or two different distinguishable shades of brightness . A control unit (10) adjusts the colour and/or brightness according to the situation by evaluating a sensor signal (12) which represents at least one situation parameter. The sensor signal can represent emergency braking, traffic hold-up, lateral distance of vehicle from edge of road. The light unit can be mounted close to a vehicle door to sense the closed position thereof.
