Abstract: An assembly of a vehicle comprises a vehicle door, a control element arranged on a door portion of the vehicle door, and a control device for controlling a closing function for closing the vehicle door and an opening function for opening the vehicle door. The control element comprises at least one first operating device for generating an operating signal on user operation at the outer portion and/or at least one second operating device for generating an operating signal on user operation at the inner portion. The control element also comprises at least one third operating device for generating an operating signal on user operation at an end-face portion located between the outer portion and the inner portion. The control device is configured to trigger a communication mode for an authentication communication with an external authentication device with reference to an operating signal of the at least one third operating device.

Abstract: A method for operating a flap assembly of a motor vehicle, a drive assembly for the motorized adjustment of the flap, a motor vehicle lock, and a flap sensor assembly for identifying a flap position, wherein the drive assembly has at least one drive which is restorably movement-coupled to the flap, with an electric drive motor, wherein the motor vehicle lock fixes the flap in a closed position in a main locked state, wherein the drive motor is activated by a drive control system of the drive assembly depending on the identified flap position. It is proposed that when the identified flap position reaches a predetermined braking initiation position situated before an end position in a movement procedure of the flap, the drive motor is activated in a braking routine by the drive control system in such a way that the drive assembly produces a motorized braking effect.
