• an output element configured to move relative to the vehicle body as the vehicle door moves, and
• a switching device configured to be switched between a coupling state, to couple the output element to an assembly, and a freewheeling state to disengage the output element from the assembly so that the output element is movable relative to the assembly;
• a number of sensors configured to detect a signal indicative of a vehicle occupant's wish to exit the vehicle;
• and
• a control device configured to, responsive to the vehicle door being in a first position and receiving the signal from the number of sensors, evaluate the signal and actuate the device to hold the vehicle door in the first position,
• wherein the control device is further configured switch the switching device to the coupling state in response to receiving and evaluating the signal.
