WARNING DEVICE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE HAVING AT LEAST ONE ELECTRICALLY MOVABLE CLOSING ELEMENT FOR A VEHICLE OPENING
A warning device for a motor vehicle having at least one vehicle aperture, which comprises an electrically movable closure element, is provided. The warning device includes a position detector for detecting a position of the closure element, an evaluation unit for detecting a closing command of the motor vehicle and generating a warning signal if with the closing command an opened position of the closure element is sensed, a warning signal generator for outputting a warning signal, and a function operation device coupled to the evaluation unit for outputting the closing command and on which the warning signal generator is arranged.
1 . A warning device for a motor vehicle having at least one vehicle aperture, which comprises an electrically movable closure element, the warning device comprising:
a position detector for detecting a position of the closure element;
an evaluation unit for detecting a closing command of the motor vehicle and generating a warning signal if, with the closing command, an opened position of the closure element is sensed;
a warning signal generator for outputting a warning signal; and
function operation device coupled to the evaluation unit for outputting the closing command and on which the warning signal generator is arranged.
2 . The warning device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one vehicle aperture is a window of the motor vehicle and/or a sliding roof and/or a folding top.
3 . The warning device according to claim 1 , wherein the position detector comprises an end position sensor.
4 . The warning device according to claim 1 , wherein the position detector is adapted to detect an increase of current consumption of an operating element of the electrically movable closure element.
5 . The warning device according to claim 1 , wherein the warning signal generator is adapted to generate an acoustic warning signal.
6 . The warning device according to claim 1 , wherein the warning signal generator is adapted to generate an optical warning signal.
7 . The warning device according to claim 6 , wherein the warning signal generator comprises an illumination element and the warning signal is a flashing of the illumination element.
8 . The warning device according to claim 6 , wherein the warning signal generator comprises a display unit and the warning signal is an error message displayed on the display unit.
9 . The warning device according to claim 1 , wherein the function operation device is a remote control or a key switch.
10 . The warning device according to claim 1 , wherein the function operation device comprises an operating element for triggering a movement of the closure element.
11 . The warning device according to claim 1 , wherein the evaluation unit is coupled to a display of the motor vehicle for displaying an indication on the display.
