  • Publication number: 20260257634
    Abstract: The actuation of an actuator of a motor vehicle. For this purpose, a predefined trigger pattern of a sensor signal is first detected, depending on an actuation of a sensor of the motor vehicle. In this case, the trigger pattern can be used to actuate the actuator according to a predefined actuation condition. Subsequently, a structure-borne sound signal associated with the trigger pattern is acquired, which signal propagates in a solid body of the motor vehicle. Next, it is checked whether the structure-borne sound signal is present as an interference signal for the actuation of the actuator, according to a predefined interference criterion. Only if the structure-borne sound signal is present as an interference signal, the predefined actuation condition for actuating the actuator is adjusted, and the actuation of the actuator takes place only depending on the adjusted actuation condition.

  • Publication number: 20250354416
    Abstract: A double-stroke locking system includes a rotary latch, a locking pawl and a drive mechanism. The rotary latch has a receiving region which is designed to receive a locking element, and the locking pawl is designed to lock the rotary latch in at least one rotational position. The locking pawl has an actuating lever and can be moved into an unlocking position or into a locking position by the actuating lever. The actuating lever can be connected to a drive mechanism and can be decoupled from the drive mechanism by performing a first unlocking stroke by the drive mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20250010713
    Abstract: An operating element arrangement for a motor vehicle, with an operating element and an attachment device for connecting the operating element to a body of the motor vehicle. The operating element is mounted on the attachment device so as to be displaceable along an actuation path. An adjustment device for adjusting the actuation path has a first adjustment element, a second adjustment element frictionally coupled to the first adjustment element, an adjustment element end stop for limiting the actuation path and a threaded device. The first adjustment element is mounted so as to be rotatable over a first range of rotation angles and the second adjustment element over a second range of rotation angles about a common axis of rotation.
