Method for controlling an adjuster on a motor vehicle
First Claim
1. Method for controlling an adjuster in a motor vehicle, more particularly a vehicle seat adjuster which has at least one adjusting path between a first mechanical stop and a second mechanical stop, wherein an adjustment position of the adjuster can be set inside the adjusting path through a user action the relevant adjustment position inside the adjusting path is determined and a protective stop is set in the adjusted path which in dependence on the adjustment position triggers a reduction in the adjusting energy, more particularly for stopping the adjusting motion in the region of a mechanical block of the adjusting motion characterised in that in order to correct the position of the protective stop a new protective stop which cannot be inactivated by the user action is set when a condition which is dependent on the adjusting motion of the adjuster is met.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for controlling an adjuster on a motor vehicle, in particular for a motor vehicle seat adjustment, with at least one adjustment range between a first stop and a second stop. An adjustment position for the adjuster may be set within the adjustment range by means of a user action, said adjustment position determined within the adjustment range and a protective stop set in the adjustment path, which, depending on the adjuster position, triggers a reduction in the adjustment energy, in particular to stop the adjustment movement in the vicinity of a mechanical block for the adjustment movement. According to the invention, in order to correct the position of the protective stop, a new protective stop is set, which may not be inactivated by a user action, when a condition, dependent on the adjuster motion of the adjuster device is fulfilled.
