METHOD AND CONTROL UNIT FOR DISTANCE-DEPENDENT ADJUSTMENT OF THE ILLUMINATION RANGE OF A LIGHTING SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE

A method for increasing the illumination range of a vehicle, having a step of receiving high beam activation information via an interface, the high beam activation information indicating an option for the glare-free operation of the high beam. The method also includes a step of ascertaining a distan...

Zusammenfassung:A method for increasing the illumination range of a vehicle, having a step of receiving high beam activation information via an interface, the high beam activation information indicating an option for the glare-free operation of the high beam. The method also includes a step of ascertaining a distance covered by the vehicle in response to receiving the high beam activation information, and a step of providing range-increasing information for increasing the illumination range when the covered distance after receiving the high beam activation information is greater than a predetermined minimum distance, and/or a step of providing at least one value of the increase in the illumination range (illumination range-increasing value) as a function of the distance covered.
