DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM FOR ASSISTING AN INDIVIDUAL WHEN EXITING A MOTOR VEHICLE, MOTOR VEHICLE AND METHOD

The invention relates to a driver assistance system (2) for assisting a person in exiting a motor vehicle (1) with a first vehicle-side sensor device (4) for detecting a distance from at least one object (O) in a surrounding area (U) of the motor vehicle (1) to the motor vehicle (1) in a parked state of the motor vehicle (1), wherein the driver assistance system (2) comprises an illumination device (10) for generating a light strip by emitting light (20) along a predefined contour into an interior space of the motor vehicle (1) and a control device (8), wherein the control device (8) is designed to provide a first operating mode for the illumination device (10), in which the illumination device (10) emits light (20) with a first wavelength, and, if the distance detected by the first vehicle-side sensor device (4) falls below a predefined minimum distance, to provide a second operating mode for the illumination device (10), in which the illumination device (10) emits light (20) with a second wavelength.
