Abstract
A vehicle door pinch detection method includes a door closure request step in which a controller determines whether there is a request to close a vehicle door, a rainy weather determination step in which the controller determines whether it is rainy weather or non-rainy weather by a rain detection sensor provided at a weather strip, a door closure initiation step in which the controller loads a pinch threshold and starts actuating a door motor for closing the vehicle door; and a pinch determination step in which the controller determines whether there occurs a pinch by a pinch sensor provided on the weather strip, wherein the controller loads different pinch thresholds based on the rainy weather or the non-rainy weather, and if the pinch is detected in the pinch determination step, the controller opens the door. An apparatus for performing the method is also disclosed.
