Abstract
A device for a motor vehicle includes at least one distance sensor for recording a predominantly lateral clearance between the motor vehicle and objects, and a control device for controlling the distance sensor, the distance sensor emitting measuring signals during an activation time, and receiving measuring signal reflected by at least one object during a measurement receiving time. In the process, the measurement receiving time of the distance sensor is modifiable by the control device.
