Abstract
A method and to a device for impinging on a motor vehicle door in the sense of a deceleration, in particular for avoiding collisions. There is at least one sensor assigned to the motor vehicle door. Furthermore, as a function of signals from the sensor, the control unit actuates the locking device for locking the motor vehicle door. The locking device applies a preferably variable braking torque to the motor vehicle door, taking into account a braking start predetermined by the control unit.
Claims10
A Method for impinging on a motor vehicle door in the sense of a deceleration, in particular to avoiding collisions, wherein at least one sensor, a locking device and a control unit are assigned to the motor vehicle door, comprising the steps of:
- using the control unit to actuate the locking device for locking the motor vehicle door dependent on sensor signals, and
- impinging the locking device on the motor vehicle door taking into account a braking start predetermined by the control unit and with a braking torque which is preferably variable.
