Method for operating a lighting device of a motor vehicle and motor vehicle for carrying out the method

摘要

The invention relates to a method for operating a lighting device (1) of a motor vehicle with several luminous areas (10, 11, 12), the luminous areas (10, 11, 12) being illuminated when the luminous means associated with the luminous areas (10, 11, 12) are switched on and form a luminous signature (LS, LS1, LS2) having a luminous pattern. According to the invention, only part of the luminous means is switched on above a certain limit value of an ambient brightness, in such a way that only part of the luminous surfaces (10, 11, 12 ) is illuminated and forms a first partial luminous signature (LS1) and, below the certain limit value of the ambient brightness, a further part of the lighting means is switched on, in such a way that a further part of the luminous surfaces (10, 11, 12) is illuminated and a further part -Light signature (LS2) forms.
