Abstract: A method for operating a drive unit for a motor vehicle. The drive unit has at least one internal combustion engine, an electric machine which is or may be drivingly coupled to the internal combustion engine, and a start-up clutch, via which the internal combustion engine and the electric machine are drivingly connected to an output shaft of the drive unit. In a start-up operation mode of the drive unit, the internal combustion engine is operated without ignition when the start-up clutch is open, and is cranked by the electric machine to a start-up speed, which is greater than an idle speed of the internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine is ignition-operated and the start-up clutch is closed upon reaching the start-up speed. The invention further relates to a drive unit for a motor vehicle.

The steps include model-based setting a first warm path temperature setpoint value as a function of at least one air-conditioning parameter detected outside the warm path; setting an electrical power consumption of at least one electrical heating element as a function of the first warm path temperature setpoint value; model-based calculating a warm path temperature model value; comparing the warm path temperature model value with the warm path temperature setpoint value; determining an initial time when the warm path temperature model value reaches a lower or upper limit setpoint value; determining a time period from the start time to a predetermined end time, and upon reaching the end time, a renewed model-based setting of the first warm path temperature setpoint value is performed.

Abstract: A method for resetting a control unit controlling a tailgate movement of a tailgate. A control error of the tailgate of a vehicle is registered, and at least two control signals are generated simultaneously and received by the control unit. Based on the simultaneously received control signals at least one value stored in the control unit is deleted and/or reset to an initial value.

Abstract: A braking system for a motor vehicle with two control devices, namely a primary control device and a secondary control device. The braking system is configured in such a way that, in a wake-up mode of the braking system, when a driver inputs a braking command, either the primary control device or the secondary control device controls the generation of a braking force in dependence on the input braking command, depending on the situation, namely depending on whether a critical or a non-critical braking situation exists.

Abstract: A method for waxing a car body with a wax, where a wax pad is attached to the car body. The wax pad is opened mechanically or thermally at a defined process point in order to release the wax and apply it to the car body. Existing thermal energy of the body and/or the wax pad from one of the preceding manufacturing steps, such as coating and/or drying, is used to liquefy the wax without the need to supply additional thermal energy in order to liquefy the wax. An optimization of a wax flow then takes place by tilting, rotating, and/or vibrating the car body in order to ensure even distribution of the wax in cavities of the car body.

Abstract: A locking apparatus for a front flap of a motor vehicle comprises a double-stroke lock, including a first locking element and a second locking element, to mechanically lock the front flap in a closed position and in a locked position; an unlocking element, coupled to the double-stroke lock, to unlock the first locking element by a first stroke and the second locking element by a second stroke separate from the first stroke; an actuator, coupled to the unlocking element, to move the unlocking element to unlock the first locking and the second locking element; a drive motor to drive the actuator; a first control device and a second control device to separately control the drive motor; and a changeover element to change over control of the actuator from the first control device to the second control device and vice versa based on a position of the actuator.

Abstract: A method for operating a lock arrangement for a motor vehicle, the lock arrangement has a lock which fixes a vehicle flap movably mounted on the motor vehicle in a closed position when the lock is in the locking position, holds it in the closed position when the lock is in the unlocking position or releases it for displacement into a first open position and releases it for displacement into a second open position different from the first open position when the lock is in the release position. The lock is actuated using an actuator by which an actuating element can be displaced. The lock is brought from the locking position to the unlocking position upon a first displacement of the actuating element and from the unlocking position to the release position upon a second displacement of the actuating element.

Abstract: A method for processing video signals in a motorl vehicle includes mapping acceleration signals from an acceleration sensor of the motor vehicle that describe a current acceleration of the motor vehicle to a change factor, such that there is a positive or negative correlation between the acceleration signals and the change factor. A parameterizable filter is applied to video signals generated by at least one camera, which captures at least one part of an environment of the motor vehicle, and causes a shift and/or selection of pixels from still images originating from a video which is obtained from the video signals, wherein a strength of the filter, which affects the shift and/or selection of the pixels, correlates with the change factor. The edited video signals are output on at least one display apparatus of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: An electromechanical steering system with an assistance device for steering support, with a steering handle, with a steering angle sensor, with at least one steering axle, with an actuator, and with a steering control device to translate the detected steering angle into a wheel steering angle. The actuator sets the wheel steering angle predetermined by the steering control device, and the steering control device activates the assistance device which brings about a decoupling of the wheel steering angle from the steering angle of the steering handle in that the actuator changes the wheel steering angle independently of the steering angle of the steering angle sensor. The steering control device monitors operation of the steering handle while the assistance device is activated, and the decoupling of the wheel steering angle from the steering angle of the steering handle is released in several stages or continuously.
