A method for controlling movements of at least one motor vehicle door of a parked motor vehicle. First, the presence of at least one living being inside the motor vehicle is determined using at least one sensor. Then, an increase in temperature inside the motor vehicle is detected using a further second sensor. A control unit evaluates the above-mentioned sensor signals so that an actuator opens the motor vehicle door. According to the invention, an opening device for the motor vehicle door is used as the actuator.

The vehicle of the present disclosure includes a left-behind detection section that detects whether or not a person is left behind in a vehicle, and a life prolongation control section that, when the left-behind detection section detects that the person is left behind, causes a plurality of life-prolongation-related sections of the vehicle to be activated stepwise according to an elapsed time after the person is left behind.

An opening/closing member control device includes a control section configured to control a motor for opening and closing an opening/closing member and determine whether an entrapment occurs when closing the opening/closing member. The control section is further configured to supply a prestored drive voltage to the motor when closing the opening/closing member, and maintain supply of the prestored drive voltage until it is determined that an entrapment has occurred, even if the acquired load information fluctuates.
