Motion detection method for controlling an opening

Abstract

The invention relates to a motion detection method for controlling an opening (10) of a motor vehicle (1), comprising an opening control system (20) which includes a motor (24), an electronic control unit (22), a detection sensor (26) comprising a control module (266), a first detection element (262), and a second detection element (262). The method, implemented by the detection sensor (26), comprises the steps of detecting (E1) a user gesture, confirming (E2) the gesture, sending (E3) a control signal to the electronic control unit (22) to activate the motor (24), deactivating (E4) the second detection element (264), sending (E6*) a control signal to the electronic control unit (22) to stop the motor (10), and reactivating (E7*) the second detection element (264) if a gesture is detected in a first Detection zone (12).
