Abstract
A method for setting a deployed position of a rear spoiler of a vehicle includes detecting a covering position between a closed position and an open position of a radiator covering; comparing the detected covering position with a checklist which correlates detected covering positions with possible deployed positions of the rear spoiler; and setting the deployed position of the rear spoiler, wherein the deployed position correlates as a result of the comparison with the detected covering position.
Claims14
A method for setting a deployed position of a rear spoiler of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- detecting a covering position of a radiator covering of the vehicle, wherein the radiator covering is configured to vary between a closed position and an open position;
- comparing the detected covering position of the radiator covering with a checklist which correlates detected covering positions of the radiator covering with possible deployed positions of the rear spoiler;
- and
- deploying the rear spoiler in a deployed position, wherein the deployed position is specified by the comparing the detected covering position of the radiator covering with the checklist.
A control unit for a vehicle, comprising:
- a detection module configured to detect a covering position of a radiator covering of the vehicle, wherein the radiator covering of the vehicle is configured to vary between a closed position and an open position;
- a comparison module configured to compare the detected covering position of the radiator covering with a checklist which correlates detected covering positions of the radiator covering with possible deployed positions of the rear spoiler;
- and
- a setting module configured to set a deployed position of the rear spoiler, wherein the deployed position is specified by the comparing the detected covering position of the radiator covering with the checklist.
