Abstract
A method for adjusting a spoiler unit of a spoiler device of a motor vehicle from a first position into a second position includes determining a characteristic value for a positional difference between the first position and the second position and deriving, as a function of the characteristic value, a travel speed of the spoiler unit.
Claims18
A method for adjusting a spoiler unit of a spoiler device of a motor vehicle from a first position into a second position, the method comprising:
- determining a characteristic value for a positional difference between the first position and the second position;
- deriving, as a function of the characteristic value, a travel speed at which the spoiler unit is to be moved between the first position and the second position;
- and
- transferring the spoiler unit between the first position and the second position at the derived travel speed.

A spoiler device for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- at least one spoiler unit;
- at least one sensor device configured to measure a current position of the spoiler unit;
- an assigned control device configured to:
- actuate the drive device,
- determine a characteristic value for a positional difference between the current position of the spoiler unit and a second position, and
- derive, as a function of the characteristic value, a travel speed at which the spoiler unit is to be moved between the current position and the second position;
- and
- at least one drive device configured to transfer the spoiler unit between the current position and the second position at the derived travel speed.
