Abstract

The disclosure relates to a method for adjusting at least one interior element of a vehicle. In this process, an occupant state signal is detected which signals that a specified pathological state of an occupant of the vehicle at least restricts their ability to drive the vehicle to a specified extent. An emergency assistance system is then activated to perform at least one support measure for the occupant. An adjustment measure is then performed in order to adjust at least one interior element of the vehicle to a specified target position. The target position is chosen here such that a movement space delimited by the at least one interior element is increased for access to and/or exit for the occupant.
