Abstract
A method and an apparatus on the basis of which a vertical misadjustment or misalignment of a clearance sensor, which is installed in or on a motor vehicle, can be recognized. Pitch motions of the motor vehicle are determined, for example via sensors, in the form of pitch angles, and are correlated in an analysis and control device with data and/or signals which were generated or prepared by the clearance sensor, and which contain the target detections or target detection losses.
