Zusammenfassung:	A method of warning road users 1 in the area surrounding a motor vehicle 5 about an imminent opening of a door of the motor vehicle 5, the method comprising: sensing the area 9 surrounding the motor vehicle 5 in order to locate moving objects 1 such as pedestrians, bikes, motorcyclists or other vehicles; detecting whether opening of a door of the motor vehicle 5 is intended; and emitting a warning signal 11 to the area 9 surrounding the motor vehicle 5 if a moving object 1 has been located and it is detected that the opening of a door from the interior of the motor vehicle 5 is intended. The warning signal or alarm 11 may only be triggered if the moving object 1 is approaching the side of the motor vehicle 5 on which the door is about to be opened. The area 9 surrounding the motor vehicle 5 may be detected by ultrasonic, infrared, LIDAR, radar or optical sensors, or by capacitive distance measuring technology.
