Abstract: A door hooking arrangement on motor vehicles for the protection against a lateral impact in the case of accidents comprises a hook arranged in the lower area of the door which, in the case of a lateral crash impact on the door, interacts with a receiving device provided on the exterior vehicle side member. In order to avoid injury of the vehicle user during the leaving and entering or during the cleaning of the vehicle, it is provided that the hooking elements (hook, receiving device), in the normal condition, are covered by covering parts and that, in the case of a lateral crash impact on the door, starting from a defined effect of force, wall sections of the covering parts arranged adjacent to the hooking elements break open and release the hooking elements.
