Vehicle, apparatus, and method for sensor-based configuration of an approach detection for the vehicle

A method for adjusting apparatuses of a vehicle including multiple zones having adjustable apparatuses in the vehicle interior. A setting of the apparatuses that is individually customized to a respective person is stored in a respective user account associated with a mobile terminal of the respective person. The respective setting is controlled by way of a control unit in accordance with the respective user account. Each zone is assigned a vehicle exterior area that is monitored by a vehicle authorization unit. The vehicle authorization unit authenticates the respective person, on the person's coming into the vehicle exterior area of the respective zone, by way of the mobile terminal in his possession, and provides the control unit with the associated user account. The control unit responds to a first person's coming into the exterior area of the respective zone by adjusting the apparatuses of the respective zone in the vehicle interior.
