Abstract:
1. A method for operating a hatch arrangement of a motor vehicle, the method comprising: operating the hatch arrangement to open or close the a motor vehicle hatch, with the hatch arrangement having a hatch leaf with a hatch drive which is associated with the hatch leaf, and a hatch controller, the method of operating the hatch including a motor-operated opening process in the opening direction and a motor-operated closing process in the closing direction triggered by the hatch controller as a result of predetermined user actions, wherein the hatch arrangement has a motor vehicle lock which engages in a retaining manner with a lock striker in a latching state and releases the lock striker in a release state, wherein it is possible to move the motor vehicle lock from the latching state to the release state in a motor-operated release process in a manner triggered by the hatch controller, and it being possible to reverse the hatch leaf starting from an opening and/or closing process in a motor-operated reversing process in a manner triggered by the hatch controller, wherein as part of a reversing process which is initiated starting from a closing process, the motor vehicle lock is actuated, at least in phases as a function of the lock state, wherein engagement in a retaining manner between the motor vehicle lock and the lock striker attributed to an inertia-related coasting movement of the hatch leaf in the closing direction, is avoided or released during the reversing operation.
