A method for scanning a body member for a motor vehicle

A method for scanning a body member (1) for a motor vehicle, wherein a pressure measuring film (2) having arrayed pressure sensors for the spatially resolved detection of pressure measurement values ​​to the body member (1) or a sensing element (3, 15, 24) is arranged, comprising the steps of : - moving said sensing member (3, 15, 24) into a contact position in which a contact portion (8) of the pressure measuring film (2) both the body member (1) and the scanning element (3, 15, 24) contacts, to several measurement points in each case determine a position of the scanning element (3, 15, 24), position information in question and each of at least one pressure reading for each pressure measuring sensor by detecting means (6), wherein the sensing element (3, 15, 24) between the measuring points in time along such - the contour of the body element (1) is moved such that at any time of measurement, a respective contact portion (8) of the pressure measuring film (2) both the sensing element (3, 15, 24) and the body element (1) contacted, and - output of a feedback information by an output device (7), wherein a time of issue of the feedback information and / or contents of the feedback information by the detecting means (6) is determined in dependence on the detected to the times of measurement position information and the measured pressure values.
