Abstract

The invention relates to a method for actuating a closure element arrangement in a motor vehicle, wherein the closure element arrangement has a closure element, a drive arrangement associated with the closure element, a control arrangement and a sensor arrangement having at least one sensor element that is particularly in the form of a proximity sensor, wherein operator control event monitoring involves the control arrangement being used to monitor sensor events in the sensor measured values from the sensor arrangement for whether a predetermined operator control event is occurring, and the result of the operator control event monitoring is taken as a basis for actuating the drive arrangement. It is proposed that the operator control event monitoring is based on at least one operator control event model stored in the control arrangement and that the operator control event model is produced and/or parameterized during use compliant with normal operation.
