A method, system and device for controlling a front compartment lid of a vehicle includes a way of opening or closing of the lid of a front compartment of a vehicle via door handle of the vehicle. The system includes a control unit of the vehicle, a front compartment with a lid with electrically controlled locking and/or opening mechanism and at least one vehicle door handle, and a logical block configured to monitor a status of vehicle door handle by a sensor for position of door handle between open position and closed position; monitor the locking status of the locking and/or opening mechanism; and, in case of matching vehicle door handle sensor data with a preset threshold value, and depending on the current locking status of the front compartment lid, generate a control signal to the locking and/or opening mechanism of the front compartment lid.

A method for detecting a closed position of a movable part of a vehicle, in particular an automatically operable vehicle, said method comprising the following steps: a control unit receives a first position signal from a first signal source as a first closure criterion which comprises at least one locking position of a vehicle lock for the movable part; the control unit adds a conditional test instruction to the received first position signal, wherein the conditional test instruction comprises checking for at least one second position signal as a second closure criterion after detecting the first position signal, wherein the first closure criterion is also satisfied; the control unit receives the second position signal from a second signal source as a second closure criterion, wherein the second signal source is different from the first signal source and the second position signal can be assigned to the movable part; the control unit outputs a confirmation signal when both closure criteria are satisfied.

A latch assembly for a motor vehicle closure system having a latch mechanism, a latch release mechanism and a power cinching mechanism. The latch mechanism is operable in a released state when a closure panel is located in an open position, in a secondary closed state when the closure panel is located in a partially-closed position, and in a primary closed state when the closure panel is located in a fully-closed position. The cinching mechanism interacts with the latch mechanism to establish the secondary closed state and is actuated for shifting the latch mechanism from its secondary closed state into its primary closed state.

A power child lock device includes a rotation driving mechanism, a switch link connected to the rotation driving mechanism so as to be moved vertically by a rotational force of the rotation driving means, an inside handle lever cooperatively connected to an inside handle installed in a door of a vehicle, a release lever connected to a door catch and configured to lock or release the door catch, and a power child lever configured to selectively connect or separate the inside handle lever and the release lever by being moved by the switch link.

A tailgate opening/closing device has a simplified tailgate opening/closing structure, reduced manufacturing cost, reduced weight, and improved quality. The device includes a release gear configured to be rotated forwards and backwards by a rotational force from a motor, a cinching gear engaged with the release gear, a linkage mechanism configured to receive force from the cinching gear to rotate toward a claw, the claw being caught by the linkage mechanism to rotate together therewith so as to be engaged with a striker, and a pawl unit configured to be caught by the claw in the state in which the claw is engaged with the striker so as to restrict rotation of the claw and configured to allow rotation of the claw in a release operation direction only when the release gear rotates in the release operation direction.
