Embodiment Construction

[0022] The drawing shows a vehicle 10 which has a shifting mechanism with a reverse gear 11 for reversing the vehicle 10 in a direction 12 shown. A shifting mechanism is understood here to mean any shifting mechanism suitable for use in a vehicle, such as a shifting mechanism or an automatic shifting mechanism.

[0023] Furthermore, vehicle 10 has a sensor 13 for detecting an engaged reverse gear 11 . Furthermore, vehicle 10 has a coupling connection for coupling the sensor to at least one brake light 15 , 16 , 17 of vehicle 10 . In this exemplary embodiment, the vehicle has a first and a second brake light 15 , 16 at the level of the tailgate 18 and a further third brake light 17 which can be arranged at the first and second brake light. Above the signal lamps 15 , 16 are understood to be high-mounted brake lamps. Furthermore, the vehicle has a light switch device 19 , which is connected directly via the active connection 14 to each of the brake lights 15 , 16 , 17 . The s...

Abstract

The invention relates to a vehicle and to a method for illuminating a region rearward of a vehicle. The vehicle comprises a braking system (21) for braking the vehicle (10), a reverse gear (11) for starting to drive the vehicle (10) in reverse, and a sensor (13) for detecting an engaged reverse gear (11). Furthermore, a brake activating device (23) connected to the sensor (13) is provided, wherein the brake activating device (23) activates the braking system (21) automatically once the sensor has detected an engaged reverse gear, and wherein when the braking system is activated, at least one brake light (15, 16, 17) of the vehicle (10) can be switched on by means of a light switch-on device (19).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a vehicle and a method for lighting an area behind the vehicle. Background technique [0002] Vehicles are now more often equipped with devices for sensing the environment. In this case, the surroundings of the vehicle are detected using optics in order to detect fixed or moving objects as obstacles, for example when driving or parking. In addition, blind angle monitoring can also be applied to environmental detection. [0003] A device for environment detection is described in detail in DE 10 2005 003 191 A1. The device has a light source, a camera and an evaluation unit, and enables obstacle detection and detection of the distance to the obstacle. Furthermore, the device can be used to illuminate the area behind the motor vehicle and then to be able to acquire images in the area behind the motor vehicle. [0004] The application of environmental detection is based on the need to be able to recognize obstacles when the veh...
