Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A non-contact detection system (20) and method (100) for detecting obstructions in relation to a powered door (12) on a vehicle (10) such that contact with the door (12) may be prevented. The detection system (20) includes an object detection sensor (22) located on the powered door (12) for sensing an object within an adjustable sensing zone (24B). A door position sensor (44) senses position of the door (12) relative to at least one of an open and closed door position. A controller (50) adjusts the sensing zone (24B) of the object detection sensor (22) as a function of the sensed door position.
