A vehicle door opening apparatus including a door that is electrically openable, an operator operating button and a passenger operating button for a door opening operation, and a BSM for detecting whether a moving object is approaching, in which in a case where the BSM detects that a moving object is approaching, when an opening operation is performed with the operator operating button or the passenger operating button, opening the door is not allowed, and when an emergency opening operation is performed with the operator operating button, opening the door is allowed.

A vehicular slider window assembly includes a frame having upper and lower rails. A fixed window has an opening and the rails are attached at the fixed window. A movable window is movable between a closed position and an opened position. A carrier disposed at a lower edge of the movable window moves with the movable window between the opened and closed positions. A sensing system determines when the movable window is in the closed position and includes a switch assembly that is actuated when the movable window is in the closed position. The switch assembly includes a switch device within a housing. A portion of the housing is an end stop configured to limit movement of the carrier when the movable window is in the closed position. The switch device includes a contact and, when the movable window is in the closed position, the contact actuates the switch device.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a control device of an opening and closing member for a vehicle including a control portion outputting a control signal that switches a connection of a switch portion to control a drive motor closing and opening the opening and closing member mounted on the vehicle and a detection portion outputting a signal indicating the rotary direction of the drive motor to the control portion, wherein the control portion determines whether or not the switch portion is stuck on a basis of the signal from the detection portion, and in a case where the control portion determines that the switch portion is stuck, the control portion outputs the control signal for switching the connection of the switch portion so as to stop the drive motor and to maintain the drive motor in a stop state is provided.

A control apparatus controlling an opening and closing member for a vehicle includes a drive control unit operating an opening and closing member of the vehicle by a motor serving as a drive source, and a catch detection unit detecting a catch of a foreign object caught by the opening and closing member in response to a current value of the motor. The drive control unit includes a motor control signal output unit outputting a motor control signal for supplying a drive power to the motor, and an advance-angle value setting unit setting an advance-angle value for advancing a phase of the motor control signal. The advance-angle value setting unit includes an advance-angle value increase prohibition unit prohibiting increase setting of the advance-angle value in a case where the current value of the motor reaches an advance-angle value increase prohibition current value.

A control device for opening and closing bodies of vehicles comprises a driving device that drives an opening and closing body of a vehicle and a controlling unit that controls operation of the driving device. The controlling unit is configured so as to cause the opening and closing body to move while controlling the speed of the opening and closing body movement by executing speed feedback control and to set a plurality of control regions over the range of movement of the opening and closing body and change control properties for the speed feedback control in each of the control regions.

An open-roof assembly for a vehicle roof comprises a moveably arranged closure member, a drive assembly for moving the closure member and a control unit operatively coupled to the drive assembly. The control unit comprises a pinch detection unit for detecting a pinch of the closure member with an object. The pinch detection unit comprises a first pinch detection system and a second pinch detection system. The first pinch detection system is configured to detect a pinch with a soft object and the second pinch detection system is configured to detect a pinch with a hard object. The pinch detection unit is configured to adapt a configuration setting of the first pinch detection system upon detection of a pinch with a hard object by the second pinch detection unit to configure the first pinch detection system to detect a pinch with said hard object.
