Abstract: A method for detecting a pinching situation when moving an adjustable component for closing an opening by means of an electric motor in a vehicle comprises the following steps: providing a trigger threshold for a closing force exerted by the electric motor on the component or a physical variable on which it is based, with which the electric motor is operated, for at least one movement position of the component within a travel path available to it for the movement; moving the component into the movement position; determining a current value of the closing force or of the physical variable on which it is based for the at least one movement position; comparing the current value and the trigger threshold; and outputting a trigger signal which indicates the pinching situation dependent from the result of the comparison.
