Abstract
A system and method are provided for detecting blockages during an automatic adjustment of a movable vehicle part in a motor vehicle equipped with an electric motor drive and an electronic control unit. The drive current as well as the movement speed of the drive are detected by the electronic control unit. When the movement speed increases above the normal level, the control unit suppresses the detection of a blockage event if a drive current increase required for the movement speed increase cannot be ascertained.
