A method for adjusting at least one trigger criterion of a protection system for the protection of external road users to be protected, especially preferably for the protection of pedestrians, including specifying the trigger criterion for a standard driving situation, ascertaining a longitudinal velocity of the motor vehicle, ascertaining a current or expected transverse movement of the motor vehicle, calculating at least one detection range of at least one environmental sensor for detecting potential collision objects as a function of the longitudinal velocity and the transverse movement, calculating whether collision objects having a predefinable maximum velocity may be struck by the motor vehicle without having previously been detected in the detection range by the environmental sensor, and modifying the trigger criterion to a modified trigger criterion if collision objects may be struck by the motor vehicle without having previously been detected in the detection range by environmental sensor.
