Control method of sliding a vehicle door by a powered sliding device
A control method of a powered sliding device for a vehicle sliding door, wherein when an operating switch is operated, a buzzer is sounded, and at the same time, a motor is rotated until a clutch mechanism is switched to a connected state from a disconnected state, and after the stopping of the buzzer, the sliding movement of the sliding door is started by the power of the motor.
1. A control method of a powered sliding device for a vehicle sliding door including a control means incorporating a mechanical clutch mechanism, comprising the steps of:
sounding a buzzer when an operating switch is operated;
rotating a motor until the mechanical clutch mechanism is switched to a connected state from a disconnected state during the sounding of the buzzer; and
starting sliding movement of a sliding door by power of said motor after stopping of the buzzer.
2. The control method of a powered sliding device for a vehicle sliding door according to claim 1 , wherein said motor is stopped when switching to the connected state from the disconnected state of said clutch mechanism by rotation of said motor is detected.
3. A control method of a powered sliding device for a vehicle sliding door including a control means incorporating a mechanical clutch mechanism, comprising
operating a buzzer by engaging a switch to an “on” position;
said switch further controlling the mechanical clutch mechanism to switch said mechanical clutch mechanism from a disconnected state to a connected state during sounding of said buzzer;
said buzzer sounding for a minimum time of 0.3 seconds; and
beginning sliding movement of said vehicle sliding door after said buzzer has stopped sounding.
4. The method of claim 3 wherein said switch in said “on” position turns on a motor, and said motor engages the mechanical clutch to switch the mechanical clutch from the disconnected state to the connected state after about 0.3 to 0.5 seconds.
