Claim:
1. A method for correcting an inclination of headlights of a motor vehicle based on measurements of accelerations of said motor vehicle supplied by a sensor borne by said motor vehicle, said method comprising the steps of: sensing with said sensor a first acceleration measurement and a second acceleration measurement; computing a variation of inclination of said motor vehicle between a first distinct instant and a second distinct instant, said first and second distinct instants defining a duration during which said motor vehicle registers a single stoppage followed by a restart, said variation of inclination being computed as a function of said first acceleration measurement and said second acceleration measurement, and controlling said inclination of said headlights as a function of said computed variation of inclination of said motor vehicle; wherein said computing step further comprises a step of computing an inclination of said motor vehicle before said single stoppage of said motor vehicle as a function of said first and second acceleration measurements of said motor vehicle; wherein said inclination of said motor vehicle is computed periodically, said inclination of said motor vehicle before said single stoppage corresponds to a last inclination of said vehicle which was computed before said single stoppage; and wherein said first acceleration measurement is associated with said first distinct instant which occurs before said single stoppage.
