Abstract
In order to be able to precisely approach a target position of a movable vehicle part by way of a motorized actuator using simple features, an actuating motor of the actuator is stopped by a predetermined advancing lead before the target position is reached. The advancing lead is varied here depending on the rotational speed of the motor or an actuating speed measurement variable correlated therewith and depending on a temperature measurement variable characteristic of the ambient temperature of the actuator.

A method for operating a motorized actuating device for a movable vehicle part, the method which comprises:
- moving the movable vehicle part towards a target position by energizing an actuating motor of the actuating device;
- stopping the actuating motor of the actuating device at a predetermined lead before reaching the target position of the vehicle part;
- varying the lead in dependence on a rotary speed of the motor or an actuation rate measurement variable correlated with the rotary speed of the motor and in dependence on a temperature measurement variable characteristic of an ambient temperature of the actuating device.
