1. An assembly for adjusting an adjustment element relative to a stationary portion of a vehicle, in particular a vehicle door relative to a vehicle body, the assembly comprising:

  • a drive motor for electromotively adjusting the adjustment element;

    a transmission element;

    an electrically actuatable coupling device which, in a coupling first condition, couples the drive motor with the transmission element in order to exert an adjustment force for adjusting the adjustment element on the transmission element, and in a decoupling second condition decouples the drive motor from the transmission element;

    an electrically actuatable locking device for locking the adjustment element with the stationary portion of the vehicle in a closed position, wherein the locking device has a locked condition in which the locking device is locked relative to the stationary portion for locking the adjustment element in the closed position, and an unlocked condition in which the locking device is unlocked for adjusting the adjustment element relative to the stationary portion; and

    a control device for controlling the drive motor, the coupling device, and the locking device,wherein for adjusting the adjustment element out of the closed position the control device is formed to;

    initially actuate the coupling device for transferring from the decoupling second condition into the coupling first condition and the drive motor for exerting an adjustment force on the transmission element; and

    subsequently transfer the locking device from the locked condition into the unlocked condition.
