Abstract: An automatic vehicle-door activating sensing system and a method therefor are provided. The system includes: a distance sensing antenna module and an activating antenna module for generating signals; a processor generates a first distance information, a second distance information, and a activating information according to the signals. When the first distance information is less than a distance threshold and a waveform of the activating information changes, the processor generates and transmits a ready-to-activate signal to an in-vehicle system. When the second distance information is greater than the distance threshold, the processor generates and transmits a vehicle door activating signal to the in-vehicle system. The in-vehicle system can activate the vehicle door after receiving the signals in sequence. With one radar, the invention can automatically activate the vehicle door based on a user's position and kicking behavior, thereby preventing misoperation caused by detection.

Abstract: A composite liftgate system with an inner panel construction having a strengthening channel structure. Structural composite reinforcements are bonded to the inner panel where additional strength is needed to meet predetermined performance requirements. Where the extra structure is needed, no steel or a minimum amounts of steel is used and the structural reinforcements are bonded in place using adhesive prior to application of additional fasteners.

Abstract: A drive assembly configured to adjust a motor vehicle closure element including a clutch assembly provided with an input connection and an output connection. The clutch assembly includes a main braking element, configured to brake a movement from the output side, and a freewheel assembly configured to engage the main braking element from movement of the output side and disengage the main braking element by means of a movement from the input side. The brake assembly includes an auxiliary braking element configured to produce a predetermined permanent braking action by means of which the auxiliary braking element acts at least against the movement introduced on the output side, and that the predetermined permanent braking action of the auxiliary braking element has to be overcome to enable the freewheel assembly to disengage.

Abstract: A tailgate assembly including at least two tailgate panels that both move between a closed position, a plurality of intermediate open positions, and a fully open position, where the tailgate panels selectively separate and articulate from the back of the cargo bed to the sides of the cargo bed. The tailgate panels move out of the way to provide direct access to the cargo area floor. The tailgate panels articulate in a small envelope of space, improving access to the rear in a confined space at the rear of the vehicle and reducing the risk of contacting objects that may be behind the vehicle.
