The present disclosure relates to a motor vehicle, comprising an illumination device, which comprises a plurality of light sources and a control device for illuminating an illumination region which can be simultaneously illuminated and which completely covers the surroundings of the motor vehicle in the circumferential direction. The illumination region is divided by the control device into illumination segments, which are controllable independently for illumination as part of at least one light function, in particular an assisting light function, of a vehicle system, wherein the illumination region of the illumination device has at least two illumination segments, one following the other in a spacing direction from the motor vehicle.
