Method and device for performing a welcoming illumination

The present invention relates to a method and a device for performing a welcoming illumination in a motor vehicle. Therefore, the problem addressed by the present invention is that of providing a method and a device that allow a welcoming illumination which seems human. According to the invention, a method for performing a welcoming illumination by means of the headlights of a motor vehicle is proposed, each headlight having a pivotable illumination module, the shape of which illumination modules imitates human eyes at least when the illumination modules are illuminated, the method comprising the following steps: —defining an authorization zone having a predefinable radius around the motor vehicle; —registering whether at least one authorized user is within the authorization zone; —starting a first illumination sequence of the welcoming illumination, in which first illumination sequence the illumination modules pivot, with respect to a vehicle coordinate system, from an idle position directed downward to a horizontally oriented driving position; —determining the position of the authorized user within the authorization zone with respect to the vehicle coordinate system; —starting a second illumination sequence of the welcoming illumination, in which second illumination sequence the illumination modules first pivot toward the registered authorized user and subsequently pivot back to the driving position oriented horizontally and forward.
