Abstract
A control system for a closure element arrangement of a vehicle includes at least one linear distance sensor to detect operator control events. A control arrangement monitors the distance sensor for one of the operator control events. A longitudinal movement cycle of a body part of an operator in a longitudinal direction comprises one of the operator control events and can be detected using the distance sensor. The control arrangement detects a transverse movement cycle of the operator body part as another one of the operator control events. The transverse movement cycle runs in a transverse direction relative to the longitudinal direction. The closure element arrangement can be driven in response to detecting either one of the operator control events.
