Abstract:
1. An actuation method for an electric window lifter of a vehicle that has a vehicle door with a frameless window, the method which comprises: detecting an entry signal derived from a door-warning signal associated with the vehicle door and generated by a rotary catch sensor, the entry signal enabling a control unit to draw a conclusion about whether or not a person has entered the vehicle through a respective vehicle door; and in response to a central exit signal, causing the window lifter to lower a window pane associated with the window of the respective vehicle door by a short stroke, wherein the central exit signal is indicative of a termination or interruption of a journey of the vehicle and of a high probability that one or more occupants are about to exit from the vehicle, and the central exit signal is independent of a specific vehicle door, and wherein the window pane is only lowered in response to the central exit signal when the entry signal was identified prior to detecting the central exit signal.
