Method for the operation of a radiator grill arrangement, radiator grill arrangement and vehicle
A method for operating a radiator grill arrangement of a vehicle is disclosed. The radiator grill arrangement has at least one closure flap mounted for rotation between a closed position and an open position, where the at least one closure flap is positioned by a drive unit. The at least one closure flap is positioned by the drive unit into the closed position, should at least one trigger criterion occur, or the at least one closure flap is positioned by the drive unit from the closed position into the open position and back to the closed position should at least one trigger criterion occur.
1. A method for operating a radiator grill arrangement of a vehicle having a closure flap mounted for rotation between a closed position and an open position, wherein the closure flap is positionable by a drive unit, comprising the steps of:
positioning the closure flap in the closed position by the drive unit on an occurrence of a trigger criterion, wherein the drive unit, when the closure flap reaches the closed position, is moved automatically around a predetermined angle against a positioning direction to adopt the closed position and the closure flap remains in the closed position.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the trigger criterion is starting an engine of the vehicle and/or unlocking a door of the vehicle.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein following the positioning of the closure flap, a reference run of the drive unit and the closure flap is carried out.
4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein reaching the closed position and the open position when carrying out the reference run is detected by an increase of an electric current of the drive unit.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a momentary position of the drive unit is detected by a Hall sensor.
6. A radiator grill arrangement of a vehicle, comprising:
a closure flap mounted for rotation between a closed position and an open position; and
a drive unit, wherein the closure flap is positionable by the drive unit;
wherein the drive unit positions the closure flap in the closed position on an occurrence of a trigger criterion and wherein the drive unit, when the closure flap reaches the closed position, is movable automatically around a predetermined angle against a positioning direction to adopt the closed position and the closure flap remains in the closed position.
7. The radiator grill arrangement according to claim 6 , wherein the trigger criterion is starting an engine of the vehicle and/or unlocking a door of the vehicle.
8. A vehicle, comprising a radiator grill arrangement according to claim 6 .
