Method and motor vehicle

A method for releasing at least one of several points of access to a vehicle interior of a motor vehicle for a user, the method comprising:

• monitoring, by a first monitoring device of the motor vehicle, a first outer zone surrounding an inner zone directly surrounding the motor vehicle such that a current position of the user relative to the motor vehicle is determined by the first monitoring device if the monitoring shows the user is located in the first outer zone;
• activating a close proximity monitoring device of the motor vehicle scanning the inner zone if the monitoring shows the user is crossing from the first outer zone into the inner zone such that the current position of the user relative to the motor vehicle is only determined by the close proximity monitoring device if the user is located in the inner zone;
• and
• releasing, after the monitoring shows that the user is in the inner zone, at least one of the points of access to the vehicle interior of the motor vehicle,
• wherein the first outer zone is surrounded by a second outer zone, wherein the first outer zone functions as an inner zone in relation to the second outer zone,
• wherein the second outer zone is monitored by a second monitoring device of the motor vehicle such that the current position of the user relative to the motor vehicle is determined by the second monitoring device if the user is located in the second outer zone,
• wherein the close proximity monitoring device, the first monitoring device, and the second monitoring device employ different modes of operation to monitor the inner zone, first outer zone, and second outer zone, respectively.
