The vehicle includes a number of seats equipped with a reading light. The control device includes each reading light, a control system for controlling the reading lights and a controller. The method includes an emission of at least one piece of data related to the seat toward an electronic device of a passenger of the vehicle. The piece of data is emitted using a wireless optical communication technique, which is a technique of visible light communication. The emission of the at least one piece of data related to the seat is carried out by the reading light of the seat controlled by the control system.
