Abstract
A method for operating electrical drive units of seat components in a motor vehicle during a detected pre-crash situation. The method moves a passenger to a target position for an impending crash based on an actual position of the passenger. The method also determines a control strategy for coordinating an adjustment of the seat components in order to actuate at least two of the drive units simultaneously or immediately successively such that the required power of the drive units is minimized.
