A method for adjusting a vehicle door, at least comprising the following steps:

using at least one presence sensor to test whether at least one body part of a vehicle door user is in a test area, and
controlling a collision protection device of the vehicle door on the basis of whether a body part of the vehicle door user is in the test area, wherein the collision protection device is configured to monitor a monitoring area that differs from the test area and is in the area surrounding the vehicle door for possible obstacles using at least one monitoring sensor in order to avoid a collision between the vehicle door to be adjusted and an obstacle.

A system for adjusting a vehicle door, comprising:

a collision protection device comprising at least one monitoring sensor, wherein the collision protection device is configured to monitor a monitoring area in the area surrounding the vehicle door for possible obstacles using at least one monitoring sensor in order to avoid a collision between the vehicle door to be adjusted and an obstacle,
at least one presence sensor, and
a control unit which is coupled to the at least one presence sensor and the collision protection device and which is configured to test, by means of the at least one presence sensor, whether at least one body part of a vehicle door user is in a test area that is different from the monitoring area, and to control the collision protection device on the basis of whether a least one body part of the vehicle door user is in the test area.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
