Method of emergency actuation of movable surfaces on vehicles
First Claim
1. A method of actuating surfaces which limit an inner space of a motor vehicle and are movable by adjusting drives, during occurrence of an accident event, the method comprising the steps of providing the vehicle with occupant protection systems, releasing the occupant protection systems by means of a bus system through a central control device;
- supplying to the central control device input signals of sensors which detect influences selected from the group consisting of outer influences, inner influences or both; and
moving the surfaces which limit the inner space by the central control device through the bus system in dependence on an accident event, to their opening position.

Abstract
A method of activating surfaces which limit an inner space of a motor vehicle and are movable by adjusting drives, during occurrence of an accident event, includes the steps of providing the vehicle with occupant protection systems, releasing the occupant protection systems by a central control device, supplying to the central control device input signals of sensors which detect outer influences, inner influences or both, and moving the surfaces which limit the inner space by the central control device through in dependence on an accident event, to their opening position.

17. A method of actuating surfaces which limit an inner space of the vehicle, which surfaces are actuated by adjusting drives having control devices, the method comprising the steps of supplying the control devices with input signals from sensors which detect influences selected from the group consisting of outer influences, inner influences and both;
- detecting by the sensors an occurrence of an accident event; and
depending on an accident event moving through the control devices the surfaces which limit the inner space to their opening position. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
