Abstract: A control arrangement for a drive arrangement of a motor vehicle interior element, the interior element is adjustable and lockable in position by aid of adjustment kinematics, the drive arrangement configured to adjust the interior element with the aid of adjustment kinematics and an interior sensor arrangement for detecting an object, the control arrangement activates the drive in an adjustment routine to adjust the interior element in a rotational motion from an initial angle to a terminal angle. The control arrangement activates the adjustment routine based on sensor data for the object, acquired by means of the interior sensor. The control arrangement includes an interior-element model of geometry of the interior element and the adjustment kinematics and generates a geometric object model based on the sensor data, to determine the terminal angle based on the interior-element model and the object model, adhering to a separation specification.
