Claim:
1. A motor vehicle comprising: wheels; a vehicle drive; a brake device; a vehicle component which heats up when the vehicle drive and/or the brake device are operated; a warning indicator to output first visual warning information when a vehicle component-specific limiting temperature is exceeded by the vehicle component; and a light source disposed at the vehicle component to at least partially illuminate the vehicle component to output second visual warning information, when the limiting temperature is exceeded by the vehicle component and/or when the vehicle component receives an information item which relates to the limiting temperature being exceeded, and only when a predetermined compartment of the motor vehicle is opened or when the motor vehicle is stationary, and is prevented from illuminating the vehicle component when the motor vehicle is not stationary; and a controller configured: wherein the warning indicator includes a material applied to the vehicle component which changes color characteristics to output the first visual warning information, when the limiting temperature is exceeded, and the material comprises a predetermined three-dimensional surface patterning to improve visual perceptibility when the limiting temperature is exceeded.
