Abstract: A fuel filler flap module of a motor vehicle includes a carrier, a fuel filler flap which is pivotably mounted on the carrier and is designed to be movable between a closed position and an open position, and a movement mechanism designed to move the fuel filler flap from the closed position into the open position and back into the closed position. The movement mechanism has a mechanical deployment element which is arranged on the carrier and which is designed to exert a deployment force acting into the open position on the fuel filler flap, wherein the movement mechanism has a motor-driven deployment means which is designed to push the fuel filler flap with an auxiliary force from the closed position up to an initial deployment position, which lies between the closed position and the open position, wherein the auxiliary force is greater than the deployment force.

Abstract: A method for detecting potential pinches caused by at least one powered movable panel between a closed position and an open position, by: measuring a physical quantity at a plurality of panel positions when the panel is moved towards the open position so as to get a first profile, measuring said physical quantity in a reference position, when the panel is moved towards the closed position, and determining an offset value, determining a second profile by shifting the first profile of a shifting value, measuring said physical quantity in a repetitive manner when the panel is moved towards the closed position so as to get a third profile, and detecting a potential pinch if the third profile crosses the second profile.

Abstract: A car seat configured to be fastened to a vehicle, includes a seat shell and a belt guide disposed at the seat shell to redirect a belt set of the vehicle for rerouting the belt set along a deviation path from an original path. When the belt set is not engaged with the belt guide, the belt set is routed along the original path. When the belt set is engaged with the belt guide, the belt set is routed along the deviation path from the original path. The rerouted belt set improves the symmetry of forces encountered by the vehicle and also improves the kinetics of the car seat during a crash. A break-away feature in the belt guide advantageously absorbs forces at different times during a crash.
