摘要： Technologies and techniques for controlling the interior lighting of a vehicle. Multiple lighting units are distributed in the interior of the vehicle, and each of the lighting units is assigned at least two color zones. Arrangement profiles for arranging the at least two color zones in the interior of the vehicle are displayed on a display and operating device, and a user selection of one of the arrangement profiles is detected. A color selection by the user is detected for each of the at least two color zones via a respective operating element displayed on the display and operating device, and a color is set for each lighting unit by a controller according to the selected arrangement profile and the colors selected for the at least two color zones. The invention also relates to a device for controlling the interior lighting of a vehicle.

摘要： A method for visualizing an inclination of a motor vehicle in the motor vehicle, in which the inclination of the motor vehicle is measured and made visible in the interior of the motor vehicle. The inclination is made visible by interior lighting of the motor vehicle. At least one virtual plane is formed, which intersects the motor vehicle horizontally when the latter is in a horizontal position and serves as a reference plane for displaying the inclination. Changes in the inclination of the motor vehicle are modeled dynamically by the interior lighting by the sequential and/or parallel activation of illuminants of the interior lighting.
