Abstract
A method for detecting an object in a door opening of a vehicle. A vehicle reaction is triggered if a received signal deviates from a setpoint value in a sensor system. When the door is closed an updated setpoint value is determined after the vehicle drives off. In order to determine the updated setpoint value, a sensor system which is capable of learning is briefly deactivated, specifically at a time occurring at least the customer-specifically selected time period after the vehicle drives off, if the door was opened while the vehicle was stopped.
Claims4
A method for detecting an object in a door opening of a vehicle, where a vehicle reaction is triggered when a received signal deviates from a setpoint value in a sensor system, and, when the door is closed, an updated setpoint value is determined each time the vehicle drives off.
