1. A method for determining a position of a part of a motor vehicle seat which is displaceable by an electric drive device elastically coupled to the displaceable part so that an at least temporarily asynchronous movement occurs between the electric drive device and the displaceable part, the method comprising:

  • determining the position of the displaceable part by evaluating a signal generated in dependence on a drive movement of the electric drive device;

    evaluating a parameter comprising at least one of the torque of the drive device and at least one parameter of the electric drive device correlating with the torque;

    using the evaluated parameter to correct a position error caused by the asynchronous movement between the electric drive device and the displaceable part.
