The invention relates to a device and a method for increasing occupant protection in a motor vehicle during a side impact, in which energy is exerted in a lateral direction on the door area of the motor vehicle, a vehicle seat (2) being situated on the opposite side of the motor vehicle door (4) from the energy impact. Said device comprises an inner door lining (3) oriented to the vehicle seat. At least one partial area (6, 7) of the inner door lining can be transferred from an initial state into a deflected state, thereby protruding into the vehicle interior, by means of the drive unit which is connected to the vehicle door and said partial area. The invention is characterized in that the drive unit comprises a converter material that can be activated by energy supply.
