    Abstract: A method for detecting a pinching situation when moving an adjustable component for closing an opening by means of an electric motor in a vehicle comprises the following steps: providing a trigger threshold for a closing force exerted by the electric motor on the component or a physical variable on which it is based, with which the electric motor is operated, for at least one movement position of the component within a travel path available to it for the movement; moving the component into the movement position; determining a current value of the closing force or of the physical variable on which it is based for the at least one movement position; comparing the current value and the trigger threshold; and outputting a trigger signal which indicates the pinching situation dependent from the result of the comparison.

    Abstract: An arrangement for a moving a cover for a vehicle roof has a guide rail, which extends along a longitudinal direction, a cover support, which is connectable to the cover, a first drive motor, a second drive motor, and a deployment lever, which is pivotable relative to the guide rail. The cover support is displaceable relative to the deployment lever along the longitudinal direction. A drive lever is guided displaceably in the guide rail along the longitudinal direction and is coupled to the cover support in order to displace the cover support along the longitudinal direction. The first drive motor is coupled to the deployment lever in order to drive a pivoting of the deployment lever, and the second drive motor is coupled to the drive lever in order to drive a displacement of the drive lever.

    Abstract: A roof module for forming a vehicle roof on a motor vehicle, the roof module has a panel component, which at least partially forms a roof skin of the vehicle roof, the roof skin serving as an outer sealing surface of the roof module; at least one 5 environment sensor configured to send and/or receive electromagnetic signals through a see-through area so as to detect a vehicle environment; and at least one cleaning nozzle configured to clean the see-through area. At least one flow guiding element is disposed on the panel component, the flow guiding element being configured to deflect headwind away from the see-through area.

    Abstract: A sensor module for being fixed to a vehicle. The sensor module may have at least one environment sensor, a panel component having a viewing area, through which the at least one environment sensor transmits and/or receives electromagnetic signals for charting an environment of the vehicle, and at least one cleaning apparatus, which has at least one cleaning nozzle by which the viewing area is cleaned. The at least one cleaning apparatus may have a guide lever which is rotationally connected to the at least one cleaning nozzle and which guides the at least one cleaning nozzle for an in particular combined longitudinal movement along a movement axis and a rotational movement about a rotational axis.
