Abstract: An automotive vehicle includes a closure frame defining an opening, and a closure for selectively covering the opening. The closure has a plurality of positions including a closed position, an open position, and an intermediate position between the closed position and the open position. The vehicle also includes an actuator configured to move the closure among the plurality of positions. The vehicle additionally includes an optical sensor disposed proximate the closure. The vehicle further includes a controller. The controller is configured to automatically control the actuator to move the closure from the closed position to the open position in response to a closure open request and no feature being detected by the optical sensor, and to automatically control the actuator to move the closure from the closed position to the intermediate position in response to a closure open request and a feature being detected by the optical sensor.

Abstract: A multi-position endgate system includes a storage box wall and a storage box floor. A tailgate is mounted relative to the storage box floor and is pivotal about a tailgate axis. The tailgate is moveable between a fully-closed position proximal to the storage box wall and a fully-open position distal from the storage box wall. A cable mechanism has a first end pivotally attached to the tailgate and a second end pivotally attached to the storage box wall. A channel hook is attached to either the tailgate or the storage box wall at a connector. An arcuate ledge is spaced from the connector, by an arm, and defines a groove. The cable mechanism may be passed or routed through the groove of the arcuate ledge to selectively hold the tailgate in an intermediate position between the fully-closed and fully-open positions.

Abstract translation: 多位置端盖系统包括储物箱壁和储物箱底板。 后挡板相对于储物箱地板安装，并且围绕后挡板轴枢转。 后挡板可以在靠近存储箱壁的完全关闭位置和远离存储箱壁的完全打开位置之间移动。 电缆机构具有枢转地附接到后挡板的第一端和枢转地附接到存储箱壁的第二端。 通道挂钩连接到后挡板或存储箱壁上的连接器。 弧形凸缘通过臂与连接器间隔开并限定凹槽。 电缆机构可以通过或穿过弧形凸缘的凹槽，以选择性地将后挡板保持在完全闭合位置和完全打开位置之间的中间位置。
