VEHICULAR LIGHTING SYSTEM

To provide a technique that can assist operation of an opening instruction by a user to a vehicular automatic opening/closing mechanism.SOLUTION: A vehicular lighting system 1 is mounted on a vehicle 90 equipped with an automatic opening/closing mechanism 80 which has an automatic opening/closing part 93 and a sensing part 81 that senses operation of an opening instruction by a user 99 to the automatic opening/closing part 93, which is provided with irradiation parts 2 having light sources 21, 22, 25 and 26 and a control part 3 that controls irradiation states of the irradiation parts 2. When the sensing part 81 performs a sensing mode of sensing the operation of an opening instruction, the control part 3 controls switching of the irradiation states of the irradiation parts 2 at two steps of a first step in which the outside of the vehicle 90 is irradiated with light and a second step in which the outside of vehicle 90 is irradiated with light in an irradiation state which is different from in the first step and the user 99 is guided to a predetermined position at which the operation of an opening instruction is performed, following the first step.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】車両用の自動開閉機構に対するユーザーの開指示動作を補助し得る技術を提供すること。【解決手段】自動開閉部９３と、ユーザー９９による前記自動開閉部９３への開指示動作を検知する検知部８１と、を有する自動開閉機構８０が搭載された車両９０に取り付けられ、光源２１、２２、２５、２６を有する照射部２と、前記照射部２の照射状態を制御する制御部３と、を具備し、前記検知部８１が前記開指示動作を検知する検知モードを行う際に、前記制御部３は、前記車両９０の外方を照射する第１段階と、前記第１段階後に、前記第１段階とは異なる照射状態で前記車両９０の外方を照射して前記開指示動作を行う所定の位置に前記ユーザー９９を誘導する第２段階と、の２段階で前記照射部２の照射状態を切り替え制御する、車両用照明装置１。【選択図】図１
