An emergency actuating device for a closing system of a movable part of a vehicle, in particular of a door, sliding door, flap or tailgate, having at least one energy store, a communication unit for wireless communication with an ID transponder, and an electronics unit for activating a lock of the movable part, whereby the lock of the movable part can be transferred from a locking position into an unlocking position or vice versa.
Claims18
An emergency actuating device for a closing system of a movable part of a vehicle, the emergency actuating device comprising:
- at least one energy store, wherein during a normal operation of the vehicle in which an emergency actuation mode is not activated, the at least one energy store is charged by presence of electrical energy generated by the vehicle and the at least one energy store stores energy from the charging,
- a communication unit for wireless communication with an ID transponder,
- an electronics unit for activating a lock of the movable part, wherein the lock of the movable part can be transferred between a locking position and an unlocking position,
- an actuating element which is engageable from outside the vehicle by a user, wherein the closing system can be switched into the emergency actuation mode by the user engaging the actuating element,
- wherein in the emergency actuation mode, the energy in the at least one energy store is discharged such that the communication unit can be powered to be brought into signal communication with the ID transponder whereby an authentication signal can be received by the communication unit from the ID transponder and, if the authentication signal indicates a positive authentication, the electronics unit transfers the lock between the locking position and the unlocking position.
