Abstract
A method is provided for pressure equalization when shutting a vehicle door or tailgate, wherein the door or tailgate is designed to close an opening into a vehicle interior, in particular to enable loading or unloading or entering or exiting. An airflow can be conveyed into the vehicle interior from outside the motor vehicle interior through an air inlet opening via an air inlet system. The air inlet opening can be closed via a closure device. The method detects a vehicle standstill mode; detects an opened vehicle door or tailgate; controls the closure device of the air inlet opening; and opens the air inlet opening.
