1. A method for actuating a closure element arrangement in a motor vehicle, comprising:

  • monitoring for an operator control event associated with a closure element arrangement in a motor vehicle, the closure element arrangement comprising a closure element, a drive arrangement associated with the closure element, a control arrangement and a sensor arrangement having at least one sensor element, wherein the monitoring for the operator control event comprises the control arrangement being used to monitor one or more sensor measured values from the sensor arrangement for whether there is a predetermined operator control event, and wherein a result of the operator control event monitoring is taken as a basis for actuating the drive arrangement, the mechanical configuration of the motor vehicle being able to be altered by an adjusting process and/or by a fitting process during use based on normal operation,wherein the operator control event monitoring is designed such that the sensing of sensor measured values above an upper threshold and/or below a lower threshold is not associated with an operator control event and wherein the configuration of the motor vehicle is taken as a basis for altering the upper threshold and/or the lower threshold.
