  • Method for actuating a drive means of a window positioning device for positioning a window pane of a vehicle, and control device suitable therefor
    Patent number: 9567791
    Abstract: A drive device of a window positioning device positions a window of a vehicle to selectively cover a window opening. The drive device is operated by a control device. When the window is fully closed, the drive device is operated (a) in an opening direction and then (b) in a closing direction. The operation of the drive device is carried out depending on a drive parameter. In a), using a first value of the drive parameter, the drive device is brought into a first reduced load position, and in b), using a second value of the drive parameter, the drive device is brought into a second reduced load position in which the window positioning device is in a reduced load state. A control device and a window positioning device are used.

  • Remote control device for a motor vehicle, and method for operating such a remote control device
    Patent number: 9511744
    Abstract: A remote control device for a motor vehicle has a transmitting unit to transmit at least one signal, for remote control of at least one component of the motor vehicle. A switch effects transmission of the signal by operating the switch. A position detection device is provided, by which an actual position of the remote control device relative to a specifiable reference position can be detected. The signal is transmitted on the basis of the detected actual position. A method operates such a remote control device.
