ABSTRACT:
In an obstacle recognition system in a motor vehicle with an electronic control device and with sensors to detect the distance of an obstacle in a predetermined area, the control device, in a defined partial area of a part, possibly mounted on the vehicle, that could be detected by a sensor as an obstacle, in the event of an actual obstacle being recognized in this partial area, in a first step determines the distance of the obstacle. In a second step, the control device checks to see whether this distance is changing. The alarm that is usually triggered as a function of the distance of the obstacle is suppressed if the distance of the obstacle detected in the defined partial area does not change.
