Abstract: A motor vehicle seat system, control arrangement, actuating arrangement, and process are used to control a lumbar support device of a motor vehicle seat. The lumbar adjustment device has a first drive for adjustment in a first adjustment direction and a second drive for adjustment in a second adjustment direction. The adjustment directions differ from each other. A first adjustment position is ascertained in the first adjustment direction and the drive movement of the second drive is controlled as a function of at least one of the first adjustment position and the temporal change in the first adjustment position.

Abstract: A motor seat device includes a drive device for displacing a part of the seat in a particular direction. Data for operating the drive device in reaction to a presetting process is stored in a pre-setting memory. A memory drive device controls the drive device according to this operating data. The drive device is further controlled by having a control mechanism process the operating data issued from the drive device during its inertia rotation. The drive device is elastically coupled to the displaceable part so that an at least temporarily asynchronous movement can occur between the drive device and the displaceable part. The position of the displaceable part is determined by evaluating a signal generated by a drive movement of the drive device. The torque of the drive device or a parameter correlating thereto is evaluated to correct a position error caused by the asynchronous movement.

Abstract: A method for controlling a vehicle seat adjuster in an adjusting path having a first mechanical stop and a second mechanical stop. A user sets an adjustment position of the adjuster inside the adjusting path. A protective stop is also automatically set in the adjusting path in the vicinity of the mechanical stops or another mechanical block blocking the adjusting path. The protective stop causes the adjusting motion to be reduced or stopped upon reaching of the protective stop. This helps produce a smooth braking of the vehicle seat and reduces the mechanical strain on the mechanical stops. The protective stop may be corrected with an updated protective stop. The updated protective stop is maintained despite any user action if a condition dependent on the adjusting motion of the adjuster is fulfilled. Learning regions within the adjusting path are provided to allow the setting of updated protective stops within the learning regions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling an adjuster on a motor vehicle, in particular for a motor vehicle seat adjustment, with at least one adjustment range between a first stop and a second stop. An adjustment position for the adjuster may be set within the adjustment range by means of a user action, said adjustment position determined within the adjustment range and a protective stop set in the adjustment path, which, depending on the adjuster position, triggers a reduction in the adjustment energy, in particular to stop the adjustment movement in the vicinity of a mechanical block for the adjustment movement. According to the invention, in order to correct the position of the protective stop, a new protective stop is set, which may not be inactivated by a user action, when a condition, dependent on the adjuster motion of the adjuster device is fulfilled.

Abstract: According to the invention, the position of a part of a motor vehicle seat which can be displaced by a drive device (M1-M4) is determined by evaluating a signal (H1-H4) which is generated according to a drive movement of the drive device. In addition to this signal, at least one parameter is evaluated in order to correct a position error caused by at least temporarily asynchronous movements of the drive device and the displaceable part.
